Step 23Enter specific Color Values

Enter specific Color Values
Select the Color button from the Color Properties dialog window and the Color specification window will open in order to specify a color.

Select a standard color, or enter a custom color from the custom color dialog. Below are Red; Green; Blue values we use for representative wood colors.

You can save a specific color by first selecting a color box, entering the color values, and selecting Add to Custom Colors button.

Not selecting a box before hand could overwrite and existing color definition, and selecting a color box will replace the current color values with those defined for that box. You need to select an available Custom Colors: box, enter the desired values, and then select the Add to Custom Colors button to specify and retain custom color definitions.

Colors definitions used by Kelsey WoodWorks to represent wood species are:
