[0…8 then user defined] or ["ColourName"]
Colours can in general be specified by colour number or by "ColourName".
The standard QuarkXPress colours range from *50 (or *5”white”) to *58 (or *5"registration").
The definition of colours is explained in detail in {25} *B Box colour, page 48.
Text boxes
This Tag defines the font colour of the box font in a text box. If a coloured text is placed in
QuarkXPress by DATAform, a colour with that name must exist in the current document.
Picture boxes
This Tag defines the colour of greyscale or b/w pictures. QuarkXPress can colour certain pic-
ture formats, see the relevant QuarkXPress reference manual. Pictures receive a colour from
the menu style/colour. If a coloured picture is placed in QuarkXPress by DATAform, the
colour with this name must already exist in the document.
If Tag *5 is missing, the picture will not be coloured.
