- Choose Window > Color Guide to open the panel. Click the Set Base Color To The Current
Color button ( ) (see the following figure).
This allows the Color Guide panel to suggest colors based on the color showing in the Set Base
Color To The Current Color button. The colors you see in the Color Guide panel may differ
from what you see in the figure. That’s okay.
Next, you’ll experiment with colors using Harmony Rules.
- Choose Analogous from the Harmony Rules menu (circled in middle part of the following
figure) in the Color Guide panel.
A base group of colors is created to the right of the base color (green), and a series of tints and
shades of those colors appears in the body of the panel. There are lots of harmony rules to
choose from, each instantly generating a color scheme based on any color you want. The base
color you set (green) is the basis for generating the colors in the color scheme.
