Changing shade colors

You can change a shade color to make it lighter or darker than its parent color. To change its basic color (its Hue) you must edit the parent color.

To change a shade color

1. From the Utilities menu choose Color Editor.

2. Drag-and drop the shade from the Color Line onto the Color Editor. (The Color Editor then shows the name of the shade.) You can only alter the Saturation and Value - the Hue is fixed by the parent color. All objects that use this shade automatically change as you change the color in the Color Editor. For more information, see Color Editor - Shade Colors.

3. When the color is correct close the Color Editor.

Tip

The parent color is shown in the Color Editor as a small white X.

When you are editing a shade you can display the parent color by right-clicking on the editor to open a menu and selecting Edit parent. Editing the parent automatically changes all shades based on it.
