Clicking on a colour - for example 'Aquamarine' - will change the colour you are editing to reflect the values that are stored for that named colour. You will see that the Colour Map has been replaced with a list of named colours. You can select any of these colours by clicking on it.ДЇor instance, click on the Palette Selector, scroll down until you get to the 'CrayonTM' palette and click on it. Selecting one of these palettes will change the Colour Map to a list of named colours, as shown above. If you click on the Palette Selector drop-down menu - top-right - you will be presented with a named list of standard colour palettes to choose from. You will be presented with the Edit Colour dialog as before. With the Colours dialog open press the New button. Once you're happy with your new colour you can press OK to create it or, if you no longer want the new colour, press Cancel.

You can also set specific values for each colour component using the text input fields to the right of each slider. For instance, if you are working on a CMYK colour, dragging the 'C' slider will change the amount of Cyan in the colour. Drag a slider to alter that component of the colour. Use the sliders below the Colour Map to adjust the colour as you want it. (Drag the pointer across the map to see the colour change.)ДЄs you select a colour from the Colour Map the 'New' colour panel - over on the left - will change to show you what the new colour will look like. (And what if you changed your mind again?)Д¬lick anywhere on the Colour Map to select the colour that is under the pointer. For the same example, if you originally named the colour 'Dark Blue' but wanted to change the banner background to red - instead of dark blue - you would have to rename the colour along with changing it. Naming colours this way avoids confusion if you decide to change the colour later. For example, if you want a dark blue colour for the background to a banner then you should name the colour something like 'Banner Background'. It is recommended that you give the colour a name that relates to what you're using the colour for. To create a new RGB colour make sure the Colour Model is set to RGB. To create a new CMYK colour make sure the Colour Model is set to CMYK. You will be presented with the Edit Colour dialog. With the Colours dialog open - choose menu Edit в†’ ColoursвЂ¦ if it's not already open - press the New button. Next to each slider is a text field where you can enter a value directly and to the right of each field is a set of spinner arrows that allow you to quickly increment/decrement that value. OK accepts any changes you've made, and Cancel undos any changes you've made.Д«elow the Colour Map are some sliders that you can use to alter the colour you are currently working on. Remove Unused deletes all the colours from your document that aren't being used by anything.Delete lets you remove a colour from your document (or replace it with another existing colour).Duplicate lets you copy an existing colour and alter the copy.Edit lets you change an already existing colour.New lets you create a new colour from scratch.
