Working with color styles and

harmonies

A color style is a color that you save and apply
to objects in your CorelDRAW document. A
color style is reusable, and any time you update

it, all objects that use this style are

automatically updated. Because an infinite

number of colors are available in CorelDRAW,

color styles can make it easier to apply the

exact color you want.

You can create a color style from an existing

object or from scratch. When you create a

color style, it is saved to the active drawing and

to the Color styles palette.

To create a color style, drag a swatch from

any open palette, or drag an object from

the document window, to the top gray

area of the Color styles docker.

When you create a color style, you can edit it in

the Color editor by using a variety of controls,

such as color sliders, mixers, and custom

palettes. Most of these controls are also

available in the Select color and Uniform fill

dialog boxes, and the Color docker.

Select a color style in the color styles list, and edit its

properties in the Color editor. You can distinguish a

color style from a regular color by the white triangle in

the upper-left corner of the color swatch.
