The
Color Chooser appears when you:
- Double-click a color swatch (for example, in the
Attribute Editor).
- Press
Ctrl +
P. When opened in this way, the
Color Chooser window is modal. You can save colors to the
Color History area swatches or use the
Eyedropper to select or inspect colors on screen. You can also load, save, and edit palettes. However, you cannot set color attributes on scene objects.
Note: If you
single-click a color swatch, a scaled-down version of the
Color Chooser appears, showing only
Color History area. But if you
double-click a color swatch the full
Color Chooser window displays instead.
Single-click a color swatch to view the smaller
Color History area or double click to access the full
Color Chooser
The
Color Chooser lets you:
- Select colors for property or materials from the
Color Wheel or
Color Palette.
- Import images and choose colors from them.
- Blend colors together.
- Save frequently used colors in the
Color History.
- Create custom palettes.
- Set alpha transparency for certain UI elements (see
Set Wireframe transparency).
A compact version of the
Color Chooser called Color History appears when you single-click a swatch. This version consists of many of the same components as the full
Color Chooser, but
without the
Spectrum,
Image, and
Blend tabs, or the
Color Palettes. For descriptions of all these options, see
Color Settings.
