Change color schemes

	Use Customize Design > Cycle Used Colors to cycle through combinations of used colors. Left- or right-click.
	Use Customize Design > Color Wheel to test combinations of related colors.

The Cycle Used Colors and Color Wheel tools allow you to change entire color schemes. Their main purpose is to quickly create a new ‘colorway’ in order to ‘spice up’ old designs or place them on a different fabric.

To change color schemes...

Use the Cycle Used Colors tool to try out different combinations of the colors within the design.

Alternatively, use the Color Wheel. This allows you to cycle through many color combinations using preset color schemes including Analogous, Complementary, Harmonious, etc.

Click and drag the larger ‘base color’ node to try out different combinations of the same colorway. The base color nominally relates to the color of the target fabric and/or the dominant color scheme of the design.
To adjust the brightness of the entire design, select the base color node and adjust the Brightness control.
Click and drag individual color nodes to fine-tune. Use the Brightness control further adjust selected colors.
Click OK to confirm. The new color scheme is transferred to the Design Colors toolbar as RGB values. Click Match All to match them to the current thread chart.
