Selecting and Customizing a Color
Select the element (icon, symbol, table, chart, etc.) to open the Color Tool.
Click anywhere in the Color Picker wheel or drag the selector for subtle hue changes.
Adjust light/dark values or opacity using the sliders or the numeric RGBA fields.
Use HEX codes or RGB values to precisely set a color. Press Enter or click outside the field to apply.
Pro Tip: Use a color palette generator to create coordinated colors and copy the HEX codes directly into the Color Tool.
Adjusting Opacity
Opacity controls how transparent an element is.
Use the Opacity slider or type a value (0–100) in the “A” field for precise control.
Lower values create a see-through effect, while 100 is fully opaque.

The Eye Dropper lets you pick colors from anywhere on your device, including images or other elements on your canvas.
Select your element, open the Color Tool, click the Eye Dropper icon, then click any color you want.
