Sliders and Text Values
The FILL , OUTLINE , and BACKGROUND menus contain sliders and text boxes for set-
ting hue, saturation, and brightness. FILL and OUTLINE also contain controls for opac-
ity.
Text boxes provide a convenient way to ensure that colors match from one page or object
to another.
Hue
Hue values range from zero to 100. Numbers specify relative colors on the color wheel, as
shown here:
Saturation
A Saturation value of zero results in no color saturation—producing black, white, or
shades of gray. A value of 100 produces full-strength color—such as scarlet red or bright
green.
Brightness
A Brightness value of zero produces black. A value of 100 produces the brightest possible
color at whatever saturation level you specify.
Tip
To produce black, set Brightness to zero—Hue and Saturation are irrelevant in this case. To
produce white, set Saturation to zero and Brightness to 100. To produce gray, set Saturation
to zero, Brightness to whatever level of gray you desire—for example, a Brightness value of 50
produces a medium gray.

Hue values specify colors on the color
wheel. For example, the hue value 22
results in a hue midway between
magenta and blue: the hue value 41
produces a color midway between blue
and cyan: and so forth.
