ColorMania 15.0

Color Palette

The Color Palette is a storage place for colors. Each palette can hold 16 colors, allowing you to build up a collection of colors for your project. If a project requires more than 16 colors, you can use more than one palette file.

Saving and Loading a Palette

Palette files have a .PLT extension and can be saved to and loaded from your hard disk, making it easy to reuse color collections across different projects.

• To save a palette, press the Save button and give your palette file a descriptive name.
• To load a palette, press the Load button and select a palette file from your disk.

Palette Name and Unsaved Changes

When a palette is loaded or saved, the palette name is displayed in the palette area. You can hover over the name to see the full file name and path.

Whenever a palette has unsaved changes, a checkmark will appear next to the palette name as a reminder that the palette needs to be saved.

Saving a Color to the Palette

To save the current color to a specific slot in the palette, right-click on the slot and select Save Color here from the context menu.

Selecting a Color from the Palette

To select a color from the palette, simply click on the palette slot. The selected color will become the active color in ColorMania.

Context Menu Options

Right-clicking any palette slot gives you the following options:

• Save Color here — saves the current active color to this slot
• Set as Active Color — makes this palette color the current working color
• Set as Text Color — sets this palette color as the text color in the color display area
• Copy Color Description — copies the color code of this palette slot to the clipboard without selecting it as the active color
