Creating colors using the system color pickers

You can create colors using the Windows System or the Macintosh System dialog boxes,
instead of using the Color Mixer and Swatches panel.
To pick a color from the system color picker:
1.
Click any color box.
2.
Select Windows OS or Mac OS from any color pop-up window Options menu.
The system color swatches are displayed in the pop-up window.
3. Select a color from the system color picker.
The color becomes the new stroke or fill color.
For information on adding a color to the Swatches panel from the color picker, see
"Customizing the Swatches panel" on page

Viewing color values

In addition to the Color Mixer and color pop-up window, you can use the Info panel to
identify color values.
To view the color value of any part of your document using the Info panel:
1.
Click the Eyedropper tool in the Tools panel.
2.
Select Window > Info to display the Info panel.
3. Move the pointer over the object containing the color you want to view (Windows only).
To view the color value of the active stroke or fill color, do one of the following:
Select Window > Color Mixer for RGB or other color system values.
Click a color box to open the color pop-up window and view the hexadecimal value at the
top of the window.
Place the pointer over a color box and read the tooltip (Windows only).
By default, the color's RGB values appear in the Info panel and the Color Mixer, and
its hexadecimal value appears in the color pop-up window, as well as the color box
tooltip in Windows. However, you can change the color model displayed in the Color
Mixer or the Info panel anytime.

To display color information for another color model:

Select another color model from the Info panel Options menu or the Color Mixer
Options menu.
