Editing colors in RGB

Normal colors
and linked colors
can be edited in several color models
, one of which is RGB
. You have three options in how you define RGB colors: 0-100%, 0-255 or as six hex digits (0-9, a-f - see Notes). You can define the same range of colors using any option.

To edit a color in RGB

1. Choose Color Editor from the Utilities menu.

2. Choose the color you want to edit from the menu or drag-and-drop it onto the editor.

3. Right-click on the Color Editor and select RGB.

When you edit a color using the RGB color model, the Color Editor looks like this:

Notes:

If you are editing a linked color, some of the values will be constrained by white boundaries (shown on the editing area) depending on the inheritance scheme in use.

Many colors on web pages are defined as six hex digits (0-9, a-f). To create these colors in Xara LX use the # box. Letters can be upper or lower-case; "abcdef" and "ABCDEF" are identical colors.

To select between 0-100% and 0-255, see Changing the color units. If you need to enter a value in the other format, you can force the units by typing (for example) "25%" (for a percentage) or "25d" (for 0 to 255 value).
