That difference is distinct enough that it can cause friction for new designers to a tool. Affinity admittedly comes with its own forms of friction for InDesign expats (the whole "lock children" thing took some getting used to), but it was intuitive enough to just pick up and use like InDesign.Check the menu entry Extras/Color Wheel.
While not as refined and RickRack it does the job.

It's really a pity, that Scribus does not manage to have the features for creating a Zine...
It would be nice to know, what were the reasons for not going for Scribus, but seeing the lack of details, I fear that they were simply... mmm... disgusted.
It would be nice to find have a clue for what Scribus is already good enough and for which usages there are only few changes needed to make it a fit...
