LITE Colors
From VL Color System Window
Using the VARI❋LITE Color System window, you can select a specific color either by
its VARI❋LITE color name or number, or by gel number and have all luminaires able
to achieve that color go to that color. When colors are sent, luminaires able to achieve
the color will do so. Luminaires unable to achieve the color will go to black, except
for VL6 luminaires, which go to white. The window uses the following graphics to
indicate luminaire compatibility with any given color:
• A black, filled circle indicates that the luminaire can match the color.
• A white, unfilled circle indicates that the luminaire can almost match the color.
• A blank cell indicates that the color is unattainable by the luminaire.
Colors achieved initially through the VL color system can also be stored in the Color
select palette (refer to “Storing and Recalling Colors” on page 91).
Open VARI❋LITE Color System window:
•At Operation menu, select VL Color System.
Note: Color matching for DMX fixtures is done by fixture type,
e.g., CYB for Cyberlight fixtures in all modes, etc.
