Color, gradients & swatches
Fill, stroke and background color; gradients; named swatches; and spot colors with print separations.
Everything about color — from picking a fill to building the spot inks and separations a commercial printer needs. Print-focused pages are marked for printing professionals.
Fill, stroke & background color
Set the fill, stroke and canvas background of any object with the color picker, sample colors with the eyedropper, and reuse them from Brand, Document and Library.
Gradients
Turn any fill or stroke into a gradient — linear, radial, conic, mesh or freeform — edit stops and geometry on the canvas, and save reusable gradient styles.
Swatches (process & spot)
Create named process and spot swatches in Popcorn Editor, apply them to fills and strokes, and manage the swatch list — the print contract for consistent color.
Spot colors & print separations
Set up spot inks for die cut, varnish, foil, white ink and spot UV, control overprint and tint, and export correct named separations in a print-ready PDF.
