I probably wouldn't create a Blue format. I'd name a format after a particular function and the color would be one of the attributes (e.g. the Link tag below). A template I created at one job in the FM7 era had only these character tags:
- Default: Reverts the selected text to the default character settings for the paragraph tag. - Bold: Apply this character tag rather than using Ctrl-B. - CodeFont: Use for file names and commands in running text. (For multi-line listings, use the Code paragraph tag.) Apply this character tag rather than formatting the text as Courier. - Italic: Apply this character tag rather than using Ctrl-I. - Link: This is used only in cross-reference formats. It be used in text only for hyperlinks in in text insets (since due to the PDF export bug we can't use cross-references). - Symbol: The tag should generally be avoided since FrameMaker's capabilities are so limited. If you must use it, check all output formats to make sure it's coming out correctly. - ~CautionColor, ~NoteColor, ~TipColor: used by paragraph tags, do not apply directly.
