Most objects in CabMasterPro can have the colour of their lines, background or fill changed, which is done using the standard Colour Select dialog.

Colour Select

The Colour Select dialog allows you to select a pre-defined colour by clicking the colour that you would like to use. See also [Colour Index Machining].

If the desired colour is not one of the 48 presets, you can create your own by clicking the Define Custom Colours button.

Doing this extends the dialog to show more options as seen below:

• Select your custom colour by clicking and dragging the mouse around on the colour matrix (the large rainbow square).
• The location of the cross hair in this box determines the Hue and Saturation of the colour.
• To adjust the Luminance (brightness), move the sliding arrow on the box to the right.
• You can also enter values directly into the hue/saturation/luminance or red/green/blue (RGB) boxes if you wish.
  
• Using either of these methods updates the other values and also the resultant colour in the Color/Solid box.

When the colour looks right, save it for future use by clicking the Add to Custom Colours button. This will add it to one of the 16 custom colour boxes at the bottom left, which can be used just like one of the preset colours.

These custom colours will be saved when you quit CabMasterPro, so can be used in any other drawings (but not in other applications which use this dialog).

To edit an existing custom colour, select it first and then adjust the values on the right.
