M3.59: tints of global and spot colours, tint swatches and Global colour balance
A colour linked to a global or spot swatch keeps a tint (Paint::Solid.tint, 1 by default and
left out of files at 100 %): paint.setFill/setStroke {swatch, tint} apply the swatch at that
percentage, swatch edits recolour every linked colour at its own tint, and Color::tinted
resolves it (CMYK and Gray inks scale, RGB mixes toward white). swatch.new saves a tint as a
tint swatch ("Ink 40%") linked to its base. Spot tints separate as that percentage of their
plate (Separations Preview, PDF Separation value) instead of an ink-ratio guess. Adjust Color
Balance's Global mode (tint) shifts the tints of linked colours. The Color panel shows Tint
mode (the swatch chip, its name and a T slider) for linked colours; the Swatches panel
highlights the tint swatch in use. Gradient stops get the same link and tint fields (the
swatch walks cover them), so GradientStop is no longer Copy.

## Tints of global and spot colours
|
||||
|
||||
A colour linked to a global or spot swatch has a tint (the reference app's T slider): `paint.setFill {swatch,
|
||||
tint?: 0..100}` (and `paint.setStroke`) applies the swatch at that percentage, linked, so `swatch.edit` recolours it
|
||||
at its own tint. `paint.proxies` and `document.inspect` show the paint as `{type: "solid", color, swatch, tint}`
|
||||
(`tint` 0..1, left out at 100 %). `swatch.new {tint?}` with the current fill (or `swatch`) saves a tint swatch,
|
||||
"Name 40%": `swatch.list` reports it with `tintOf` and `tint`, applying it links to its base at that tint, and it
|
||||
follows edits of its base. A spot tint prints that percentage of its plate (Separations Preview, PDF Separation
|
||||
value). `edit.colors.adjustBalance {tint: -100..100}` (Global mode) shifts the tints of the selection's linked
|
||||
colours and leaves the rest alone.
