I would like to make a drawing using only 2 colors, pms yellow and pms reflex blue, and a few combinations of these colors using differents 'grades' or %. A combination of 10% yellow under 5% reflex blue would give a greenish color.

To simplify my question : I place a rectangle with 5% reflex blue on top of a rectangle with 10% yellow and where both rectangles overlap the result should be green. I don't want to use the CYMK palette for this purpose.

Thx
 
Set the top colour to overprint. Snag though is in 'view - show - overprint' you can see the overprint object as a pattern but you cannot see what the print outcome will be so with this version (V12) the outcome will be a 'best guess'. Future versions may well sort this.
