You can use the Color Mixer to mix colors from CMYK (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow,
Black), RGB (Red, Green, Blue), and other color modes to create specific colors.
The CMYK mode uses process colors that represent inks in four-color print, and
RGB mode uses colors that appear onscreen, such as on a Web page.
The tutorial document, which is designed both to be printed and for export as a
Flash movie, uses RGB colors. Here you'll use the RGB color mode to create a
shade of gold for the beads, and you'll add the color to your document's list of
color swatches. Later in the tutorial, you'll print pages using CMYK colors.
If the Color Mixer panel is not visible, choose Window > Panels > Color Mixer.
