Aha.

It's a color not a swatch.

I'm hazy about this distinction and I don't like some of the things that used to be a snap of the fingers in PageMaker that range from very tough to start over in InDesign. (Try converting a CMYK document to a Spot + Black document. Easy in PageMaker -- just redefine your named colors. Horrible in InDesign. Thank heaven I only had to do it once.)

Anyway, because it's the name of a built-in color it can't be used as the name of a swatch. Use MyCyan or theCyan or ourCyan or something like that.
