Swatch Name: Dark Orange
Add To My Library: Deselected (In Lesson 13, “Creating Artwork for a T-Shirt,” you’ll
learn all about Libraries.)
Tip
Naming colors can be an art form. You can name them according to their values (C=45,
...), appearance (light orange), or description like “text header,” among other attributes.
Notice the Global option that is selected by default. New swatches you create are global by
default. That means, if you later edit this swatch, everywhere it is applied, regardless of
whether or not the artwork is selected, is updated.
- Click OK to save the swatch.
Notice that the new Dark Orange swatch is highlighted in the Swatches panel (it has a white
border around it). That’s because it’s applied to the selected shape automatically. Also notice
the little white triangle in the lower-right corner of the swatch. This indicates that it’s a global
swatch.
