Selecting Colors
Paint tools use the foreground color. To select the color, first click the display box of
the foreground color. A dialog with four tabs opens. These tabs provide different color
selection methods. Only the first tab, shown in
Figure 18.2, “The Basic Color Selector
Dialog” (page 237), is described here. The new color is shown in Current. The previous
color is shown in Old.
Figure 18.2 The Basic Color Selector Dialog
The easiest way to select a color is using the colored areas in the boxes to the left. In
the narrow vertical bar, click a color similar to the desired color. The larger box to the
left then shows available nuances. Click the desired color. It is then shown in Current.
If that color is not what you want, try again.
The arrow button to the right of Current enables saving a number of possible colors.
Click the arrow to copy the current color to the history. A color can then be selected
by clicking it in the history. A color can also be selected by directly entering its hex-
adecimal color code in HTML Notation.
The color selector defaults to selecting a color by hue, which is usually easiest for a
new user. To select by saturation, value, red, green, or blue, select the corresponding
radio button to the right. The sliders and number fields can also be used to modify the
currently selected color. Experiment a bit to find out what works best for you.
When the desired color is shown in Current, click OK. To restore the original values
shown when the dialog was opened, click Reset. To abort changing the color, click
Cancel.
