Color Picker
The Color Picker dialog appears when creating a color in the formatting dialogs of certain elements, for example border colors in boxes and paragraphs.
The dialog consists of two main parts. On the left is the color wheel that can be used to select a color hue by clicking anywhere on that wheel. To the right of the color wheel there is a vertical bar used to select the color saturation. At the top-right, two colors are shown: the New box displays the currently selected color, while the Original shows the color currently attributed to the element.
The rest of the dialog has various options for choosing colors:
- Color Mode: Use the drop-down to select whether the color is set as RGB or CMYK. This determines how the color is saved in the formatting properties, and how they are printed or output; see Colors.
- RGB group: Enter the Red, Green and Blue color values from 0 to 255.
- HEX: Enter a valid HTML Hex Color.
- The eye dropper lets you select a color from anywhere on your desktop. To open it, click the eye dropper button
next to the HEX color field. - CMYK group:Enter the Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and Black color values from 0 to 100 percent.
Whenever one value within this dialog is changed, all the other
values are adjusted to their equivalent.
