About the Color palette, Swatches palette, and the Color Picker
Use the Color palette, Swatches palette, swatch library palettes, and the Color Picker to apply color to page
backgrounds, text, and objects on a page.
Color palette Contains color models based on CMYK, RGB, HSV, HSB (for video hardware), and Grayscale. The
Color palette displays the color of the current selection in the preview pane, as well as recently used colors in the
Recent Colors list. The Hex Value box displays the hexadecimal value of colors you’ve chosen.
Swatches palette, swatch library palettes You can add or remove custom swatches to the default Swatches palette,
and open multiple swatch library palettes, such as palettes that include site colors (colors you’ve used in a site) and
recent colors (colors you’ve added to the Recent Colors list in the Color palette). The Show Search Fields option in
the Swatches palette and swatch library palettes lets you search for colors by name or hexadecimal value.
Color Picker In the Color Picker, you can select colors based on the HSB (hue, saturation, brightness), RGB (red,
green, blue), CMYK (cyan, magenta, yellow, black), or Lab color models. The Color Preview field displays the
currently selected color above the previously selected color. You can also specify a color based on hexadecimal values,
and add colors from the Color Picker to the Swatches palette. The Color Picker can be set so you choose from only
web-safe colors.

Eyedropper tool Use this tool in the Color palette, Swatches palette, or swatch library palettes to extract colors from
an image or screen element.
Note: When you use the Color palette, Swatches palette, swatch library palettes, or the Color Picker to apply color to text
or objects, GoLive inserts the color attribute inside the font element. Because the font element can cause problems with
web browsers, you may want to apply color to text and objects using CSS styles instead of the Color palette, Swatches
palette, swatch library palettes, or the Color Picker.
