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