• None: Your Avid editing application does not supply a name.
• RGB: Your Avid editing application uses the 8-bit values for the red,
green, and blue components as the name.
• Name: Your Avid editing application uses the name from the standard
HTML color scheme that most closely matches the color you are

Eyedropper 3 x 3
Averaging
When this option is selected, your Avid editing application calculates the
color value to pick by averaging the values of a 3 x 3 sample of pixels
centered on the eyedropper’s position. This is often useful for picking up a
color accurately by sight because it compensates for shifts in color value
from one pixel to another. When this option is deselected, the system
selects the color value of the exact pixel at the eyedropper’s position.
