Storing colours
If you want to save colours that you want to work with frequently, you can store
them in the Swatches tab as thumbnails (this avoids continually defining colours
in the Colour tab). The Swatches tab hosts galleries of categorized colour
thumbnails.
If hidden, make this tab visible via Window>Studio Tabs.
You can store your currently selected foreground colour (in Colour tab) to the
currently selected category (e.g., Sunset); you can also create categories yourself
into which you can add your own thumbnails. The Swatches tab also lets you
choose pre-defined colours from a range of "themed" categories (e.g., Earth,
Fruits, Pastel, and web browser safe).
To add a colour to the Swatches tab:
1. From the Swatches tab, pick the correct category to store the colour.
2. Click the New Swatch button to add the Colour tab's foreground
colour to the current gallery.
To apply a colour from the Swatches tab:
• Click to select any gallery thumbnail—the Colour tab's foreground
colour will update ready for use in painting, drawing, filling, etc.
