Finding Colors in a Color Set
There are two ways to find a particular
color in a color set. You can search for
the color by name or have Corel
Painter find the color that comes
closest to matching the current color.
To find a color:
1 On the Color Sets palette, do one
of the following:
• Click the Find Color button
.
• Click the palette menu arrow,
and choose Find Swatch.
2 In the Find Color dialog box, do
one of the following:
• Enable the By Name option,
and type a name in the box.
• Enable Closest to Current
Color.
3 Click Begin.
4 Click OK when the desired color is
found.
If the color set is visible, Corel
Painter surrounds the found color
with a selection frame.
If you search for a color by name,
but a color with that name is not
found, the OK button is not
available (grayed out).
Customizing Color Set
Layouts
You can arrange colors in a color set in
a variety of ways. You can sort by hue,
luminance, and saturation; determine
the size of color swatches; decide
whether to have grid lines; and
indicate whether the colors in the set
are named. You can change a color set
until it’s exactly the way you want it.
To change how colors are sorted:
1 On the Color Sets palette, click the
palette menu arrow and choose
Sort Order.

options:
• Saved — sorts colors in the
order they were originally
entered.
• HLS — sorts colors by hue,
luminance, and saturation.
• LHS — sorts colors by lumi-
nance, hue, and saturation.
• SHL — sorts colors by satura-
tion, hue, and luminance.
To adjust color swatch size:
1 On the Color Sets palette, click the
palette menu arrow, and choose
Swatch Size.
