In this InDesign how-to video, Khara Plicanic shows how easy it is to pull colors from an image in InDesign. She walks through right-clicking to have InDesign save color groups as a theme, then selects the sampled color indicators and drags to change them up. Lastly, Khara applies a color mood to the set and saves the theme to a Creative Cloud library for quick re-use.
