Changing Colors with HEX codes & RGB
When choosing a color you can choose to enter very specific colors with HEX Codes (Mac Only) or RGB Values (Mac and Windows). Just enter the value and apply (note that you sometimes have to tab out of the field to apply the color in the color picker).
Mac HEX & RGB Codes
You’ll find the Mac Hex and RGB code entry points in this tab under this drop down.
Windows RGB Code
You’ll find the Windows RGB entry dialog under the custom colors button.
Sampling a Color
It’s possible to sample a color from your photo or design using a color picker. On a Mac, this is built in. On Windows, simply download one of the many free color pickers available for Windows.
On a Mac click the eye drop to sample a color.
On Windows, use one of the free color pickers to get an RGB value and then enter that value into the custom color dialog.
Summary
