Applying colors
The color palettes contain a range of colors that you can apply to graphic objects. You can
select colors before you draw an object, or you can apply them to an existing object.
To show and hide the color palettes, from the View menu, select their names.
You can use the:
 Foreground Color palette to select a color for the outline of an object, for text, or
for hollow objects.
 Background Color palette to select a color for the inside of an object or for solid
objects.
For objects with patterns, you can set the color of the pattern separately.
Applying pattern styles and colors
Use the Pattern Styles toolbar to apply patterns to graphic objects. You can select a pattern
before you draw an object, or you can apply a pattern to an existing object.
An object’s pattern is visible only if the object’s background style is Solid. Objects with a
transparent background have no pattern.
