To match an item’s color before you place it in your

 

workspace, deselect any other items. Click the Back-

 

 

ground (or Text) eye dropper, then click the color in your

 

 

workspace (not in the thumbnail bar) that you want to

 

 

match. The new color displays in the Background (or

 

 

Text) color box. Now add the item.

 

To change an item’s color to match another after you

 

 

place it in your workspace, select the item. Click the

 

 

Background (or Text) eye dropper, then click the color in

 

 

your workspace that you want to match. The new color

 

 

displays in the Background (or Text) color box and the

 

 

item takes on the new color.

Adjusting colors

Click more colors…(on Windows) or click the multi-color image (on Macintosh) to select from an even greater variety of colors.

Use the slider bar or make fine adjustments using the color tools. This is a great way to choose a color in the same family or one that complements your original color.
