Selecting a Color

■ Color Icons
In a dialog box, a color icon is associated with a property that requires a color. It shows the color of the current selection and you can click it to bring up the Color palette. With the Color palette, you can select a color for the associated property. The following is a Color icon showing that the current selection is yellow.



■ Color Palette

With the Color palette, you can: 1) Select a color from a set of predefined colors, 2) Customize a set of user colors, and 3) Select a color from a set of user colors.
Usually, you click a Color icon to bring up the Color palette. The following shows the pages of the Color palette.

On page 1, the yellow block is outlined to indicate that it is the current selection. To select a color, click on that color block. To select a page, click on that page’s number tab. To cancel the operation click on any position other than the color blocks and the number tabs. Page 1, 2, and 3 contain the predefined colors. Page 4 contains the user colors.
