Changing named colors

You can edit named colors if required. All the objects that use that color automatically show any changes you make. Any shade colors, tint colors or linked colors based on the edited color also change.

To change a named color

1. From the Utilities Menu, choose Color Editor.

2. Choose the named color from the drop-down list in the Color Editor.

3. Alter the color using the Color Editor. You can alter the color value, or its type.

Tips

You can also drag-and-drop the color from the Color Line or Color Gallery onto the Color Editor.

You can also select the color in the Color Gallery then click the Edit button in the gallery or just double-click on the color. (See Color Gallery)

Selecting an object and then editing the color shown in the Color Editor creates a local color. You must specifically choose a named color before you can edit it.

You can also select the color from an object visible on screen. Select the object and drag the color from the swatch on the left of the Color Line onto the Color Editor.

You can see more options in the Color Editor if you click the Show Advanced Options button.
