Suffice to say I learnt a fair bit in the session, mainly about colour selections, how to create our own swatches and load swatches. The swatch bit was handy, as we were shown that there is actually a number of swatch books that - depending on the print you want (gloss/matte/solid matte) - would give you every pantone reference, which is particularly handy, especially when you need an exact colour match and you have to send it off to the printers. There is also a large selection of spot colours available to choose from.
The handiest part for me was the edit colours which basically enables you to spin a wheel on the colour spectrum and it pins down relative complimentaries to use. This is handy especially if like me you spend many an hour traipsing through swatches like a doped up mac monkey.
On a more serious note, when creating colour libraries/books, its very important to save the file as an ASE file, otherwise it may hinder the use of that book/library in other Adobe programs. For example, if using tints then it wont register with the other creative suite members.
