Creating a New Color

You can create your own

custom color. Start by se-

lecting a color from the pal-

ette ( ) at the bottom of the menu. Then modify the color using the color

control bars ( ) at the top of the menu.

Use MARK START to activate the control bars. Use the arrow keys to

adjust the pointers on the control bars. The UP and DOWN arrows choose

which of the three bars is active; the RIGHT and LEFT arrows adjust the

sliding control of the active bar. Use SHIFT with the arrows to move the

slider faster, use COMMAND to move the pointer all they way to the end of

the bar. The number to the right of each bar shows its value, to make it easy to

recreate a color later.

• The top bar adjusts the hue of the color — whether it's red, yellow, blue,

etc.

• The middle bar adjusts the saturation — the strength of the color.

• The bottom bar adjusts the lightness of the color between black on one end

and white on the other.

These three adjustments are known as the HLS color model. It's a bit like

mixing paints. The hue control determines what color paint you are using.

The saturation control shows how much of that color is in the mix. And the

lightness control is something like mixing in more or less white or black

paint.

The sample color swatch ( ) in the middle region of the screen shows the

resulting color. When the color is correct, press NEW LINE/OK and the color

will be added to the user colors.
