To color-manage swatches and the Color Picker
Colors sometimes look different when viewed on different monitors, when printed, or when displayed on the web.
Print applications use color management to produce consistent color across different devices. Web browsers don't
use color management to display colors on web pages. GoLive offers you the option to view colors by using a color
managed preview in the Swatches palette, swatch library palettes, or in the Color Picker.
Do one of the following tasks:
To view swatches in the default Swatches palette or in a swatch library palette using color management, choose
•
Color Managed View from the palette menu.
•
To view colors in the Color Picker using color management, select Color Managed Preview in the Color Picker
window.
To use the Color palette
The Color palette lets you mix and edit colors.

located at the top of the Color palette.
To display only web-safe colors, choose Only Web Colors from the Color palette menu. The sliders snap to web

Note: Web-safe colors are the 216 colors that are used by browsers, regardless of platform. Browsers change all colors in
the image to these colors when displaying the image on an 8-bit screen. By working with web-safe colors, you can ensure
that the colors in your web pages will not dither on a system using a 256 color display.
To display color values in percentages, choose Percent Values from the Color palette menu. Choose Percent Values
•
again to display colors in the 256 numerical scale.
To show or hide the color model buttons, choose Show Buttons from the palette menu.

To show or hide the Recent Color list, choose Show Recent Colors from the palette menu.

To manually add a color to the Recent Color list, either select a colored element on a page, such as colored text, or
select a color from the Color or Swatches palette, and then click the Add Color To Recent Colors List button .
To use the Swatches palette or a swatch library palette
You use the default Swatches palette or a swatch library palette to select colors by color swatch, name, or hexadecimal
value. You can open multiple swatch libraries concurrently, and save Recent Colors, Site Colors, or custom swatches
added to the Swatches palette as an Adobe Swatch Exchange file.
