Adobe 65036570 - Director - PC User Manual page 172

If the movie is set to specify colors as RGB values, selecting a color from the Color menu specifies the RGB value of
the color, not its index value. (For an explanation of the difference between index and RGB color, see
palette index and RGB color.) The bar at the top of the Color menu indicates whether the movie is set to RGB or
index color.
If you want to select a color that is not in the current palette (and therefore not available on the Color menu), use the
system color picker to specify any color. You can also change the set of colors available on the Color menu by
displaying a different color palette.
