Lets you set colors for the Alias interface. You can set colors for active (picked) models, inactive (unpicked) models, elements in the modeling windows (such as grids), elements in the user interface (such as text entry fields), and tool interaction colors.
The colors are divided into sections as described below. To change the color of an interface element, click the color swatch next to it, and set the color using the color editor.
The Active and Inactive sections have a System element that defines the color for all elements that do not have an assigned color in the User Colors panel.
You can assign different colors to the same element in different workflows, creating unique color sets for each of Default, Paint, Modeling, and Visualize workflows (see Preferences > Workflows).
