This is another handy Adobe tip from Brian Wood, Director of Training at eVolve Computer Graphics Training in Seattle. This tip works in both Adobe InDesign and Illustrator CS/CS2.

If you want to quickly saturate or desaturate a color in the color palette, hold down Shift while dragging a color slider.

Both InDesign and Illustrator adjust the color sliders in tandem, keeping the values in proportion to each other. Easily giving you a richer or lighter version of your selected color.
