Alright so new feature of InDesign CC 2015 is Paragraph Shading. A long overdue feature. The question is for Print Projects is there any difference between using Shading vs the old way of putting a colored box below the text?

Here is my Paragraph Shade panel:



Here is a closeup of PDF export using the Shade function:

I don't see any differences from a visual standpoint, (the area under my box is on a gray background) but before I implement this on print projects thought I'd ask and see what, if any, differences there are to consider when using Paragraph Shading?

There's really nothing to worry about in terms of output.

All that's being done is the text frame is getting a color applied to it. It's no different than placing a colored rectangle behind the text frame. Output would be the same, it's only the production method that is changing (and is easier).
