Colors
Overview
The Color select provides a means for storing and recalling a palette of up to 300
colors. These can be used for building cues and effects. As a default, the Color select
may contain a palette of 80 default colors, however it is possible to store your own
Colors over the defaults and relabel as required.
Color (like Beams) are stored by luminaire types. This means that for any one
luminaire type, only one Color setting can be stored in a single Color select. For
example, a select can store different colors for VL5 and VL6 luminaires, but multiple
colors cannot be stored for multiple VL5 luminaires. During a store operation, the
color parameters stored will be drawn from either the lowest active luminaire or
lowest selected luminaire as determined by the console’s default setting (refer to
“Settings Window” on page 258).
Note: The default color palette supports color mixes for VARI❋LITE luminaires
only. These colors are not numbered according to theVARI❋LITE Color System.
Colors can be applied using VARI❋LITE color numbers through the VL Color Data
window. Refer to the “VARI❋LITE Color System” chapter on page 103 for more
information.
Color Select Guidelines:
• Colors are not linked to Presets or cues. This means that if a certain Color select
was used when creating a cue and a new color is stored into that select, then this
will not affect the color stored in the Preset or cue.
• Parameters stored into a Color select are filtered only when the console’s default
setting is configured to do so (refer to “Settings Window” on page 258).
