I want to generate a TOC whose numbers are a different colour form the actual text. Here an example made in Photoshop:



As you can see the leading numbering is in blue, but the text itself is in black.



I sadly have no idea how to recreate this in InDesign. When I make a table of contents I can choose a Paragraph style for the text, but no character style for the numbering (at least I cannot find it). Also when I add numbering in my paragraph style, I simply have 2 numberings ... one in the desired colour and one in black (coming from the TOC). This obviously is not what I desire.

It seems you need to use Nested Styles for the Paragraph Style assigned under TOC.

It should use something like this.



This will apply a Character Style to Characters from the beginning of the Paragraph and stops when it reaches the first Tab, which in this case is the one right after your List Numbering.

Good luck!
