Displaying the Color Palette

---

You can use the color palette to specify the color of objects and text in the document within the active window.

To view the Color palette:

1. From the File menu, choose Document Settings.

2. Click the Colors tab.

Use the Color tab to specify the following colors:

• Background Color-Fills the background of the current document in the active window.
• Foreground Color-Default color used when you draw a new object.
• Other Colors-Colors available in the Color Menu for changing the color of individual objects. The colors are represented in the same order that they appear in the Color menu.

You can customize the Color menu. Colors can be added, or existing colors can be changed. Changing a color, for example Other #2, changes all objects that are using the color.

NOTE: If you select an individual or grouped object that contains multiple colors, there is a check mark next to each of the colors in the Color menu. The purpose of the check marks is to alert you that a change would affect more than one color.
