Color, strokes, and fills overview

FreeHand lets you create a list of named colors for each document. You can create and edit colors using the Color Mixer and Tints panels, and you can manage the color lists using the Swatches panel. You can also import and export a library of colors.

You can apply colors to strokes and fills several ways: by using the Stroke and Fill inspectors, dragging colors, choosing colors from the pop-up color boxes on the Tools panel, and using the Eyedropper tool to copy colors from other objects in the document.

In addition to basic colors, you can also apply a variety of advanced stroke and fill effects to objects.

Note: The onscreen accuracy of color depends on the current settings of the Color Management preferences. For information about how to set onscreen colors to closely approximate colors in your final output, see Color management overview.
