You can customize the colors on the color panel of the Accents window. Any changes you make also appear in the Color pop-up palette of the Tools window. For best results when customizing colors, set your monitor to Thousands of Colors using the Monitors & Sound control panel.
Note: This section is about editing the color palette available in the Accents and Tools windows. It is not about changing the colors of objects or images.
When you customize a color in the Accents window, the change also affects any place in the document where you used the previous color.
