Working with Colors

You can customize a color by using three-color models i.e., RGB, HLS (hue, lightness, and saturation model) and CMYK provided by Page-Maker. RGB is used to blend percentages of red, green, and blue. HLS is used for increasing or decreasing the lightness and saturation of the hue as percentages of 100 to create the color. Using CMYK you can mix four primary colors cyan, magenta, yellow, and black in varying percentages of 100 to get different color combinations. All this can be done by selecting the new color icon at the bottom of the color palette or by selecting new color from the color palettes fly-out menu.
