The color tools allow you to quickly re-color entire designs. Their main purpose is to create new ‘colorways’ quickly and easily in order to ‘spice up’ old designs or place them on a different fabric.

To change color schemes...

Optionally, add a new colorway for your new color scheme. See Add colorways for details.

Use the Cycle Used Colors tool to try out different combinations using threads already in the design.

Alternatively, select Color Wheel. This allows you to cycle through many color combinations using preset color schemes including Analogous, Complementary, Harmonious, etc.

Click and drag the ‘base color’ node to test combinations against different background colors. You can make any color the base color by double-clicking in the palette at the top of the dialog.
Each color node can be further individually adjusted.

To adjust the brightness of the entire design, select the base color node and adjust the Brightness control.
Click OK to apply changes. New colors are added to the palette as RGB values.

Match and assign thread colors manually or use the Match All function.
