Working with Color 155
•
Drag a color from the color box of the Color Mixer or Tints panel either to the empty space at
the bottom of the list of swatches or onto the arrow button at the top of the Swatches panel.
Drag onto an existing color swatch to replace a color.
•
In Windows, right-click any color box in the Color Mixer or Tints panel and select Add to
Swatches from the context menu. This bypasses the dialog box and adds the color with a
default name.
To duplicate a color:
1
In the Swatches panel, select a color name.
2
Click the Swatches panel Options menu control and select Duplicate.
The new color is named “Copy of [original color].”
Naming colors
Colors listed in the Swatches panel must have a name. Unnamed colors appear in the drawing if
you’ve added colors to objects using the Color Mixer panel or a pop-up color palette.
When you add a color to the Swatches panel, FreeHand assigns a name based on the color’s RGB
or CMYK values. By default, dragging a different color swatch onto that color renames it
according to its new values. You can turn off this automatic renaming in FreeHand preferences.
If you drag a swatch into the Swatches panel and drop it onto a color named something other
than the default FreeHand name, the color is changed but not its name. For example, if you have
imported a purple color named Grape into the Swatches panel, and you drag a red color swatch
onto it, Grape will now be red.
If you add two or more identical colors from the Color Mixer or Tints panels to the Swatches
panel and use the default color names, FreeHand displays the copies with a dash and number after
the color name, as the following illustration shows:
If you duplicate a color using the Duplicate command from the Swatches panel’s pop-up Options
menu, the new color is named “Copy of [
original color ].”
