The main problem with overrides is that it will make changes later that will be difficult to find and/or fix. Is there a way to find overrides, other than examining each paragraph individually? Is there a way to remove all overrides from a document in a single operation? I guess one way is to

The extra colors are used in some graphic(s) in the template that uses an 'indexed color' model instead of a full true color palette. This could be a logo on a master page, icons on reference pages, etc. If the output is to be grayscale and one spot color, replace any images with grayscale

If I'm writing a typical user manual, my preferred solution for pagination overrides is to float tables and figures. Floating rarely produces pagination problems--that's the main purpose of floating, as far as I can tell. I give tables and figures numbered titles and I'm careful to cite each one
