selected on the Stage, the color modifications you make in the Color Mixer are applied to
the selection.

can expand the panel to use hexadecimal mode. You can also specify an alpha value to define
the degree of transparency for a color. In addition, you can select a color from the existing
color palette.
You can expand the Color Mixer to display a larger color space in place of the color bar, a split
color swatch showing the current and previous colors, and a Brightness control to modify color
