Color Editor

Use the Color Editor of the Button Magic Material Palette Editor to Edit the ambient, diffuse, specular, and emissive color.

Find it: Choose Edit > Background in the main Button Magic window, or, in the Material Editor, click the boxes next to Amb, Diff, Spec, or Emis to bring up the Color Editor.

To select a new color, drag the selection box in the color wheel, drag the sliders on the color bars, or type new values in the boxes. The quickest way to select a new color is to use Edit > Match Color, which when clicked allows you to click anywhere on the desktop and then places that color in the left color box in the dialog.

The color wheel, sliders, and value boxes are grouped; changing one updates the other two. Note: the color sliders do not appear by default. To bring them up, choose an item in the Sliders menu.

The new color appears in the farther box to the left of the color wheel. The previous color is preserved (in the box closer to the color wheel) until you save the new color. The saved color then replaces the previous color. Use the arrow buttons below the boxes to move the colors from one box to another:
