# Colors Palette

You can use the Colors palette to select the background, foreground or any other item's color.

To choose colors with Color palette:

1. Open the Colors palette, and do one of the following:
   - Choose View ‣ Show Colors
   - Press Shift ⇧ + Command ⌘ + C
2. In the Colors toolbar, click how you want to select a color (color wheel, sliders, palette, image, or crayons).
3. Click a color you want to use.

Using Colors palette swatches

At the bottom of the panel is a table where you can keep swatches of your favorite colors. These swatches remain available for convenient use in any application that uses the Colors palette.

To add a color to the table, drag a swatch from the color bar at the top of the window to a table cell. To remove a color from the table, you can drag an empty (white) cell onto a colored cell, which “erases” the color. You can expand the table by dragging the bottom of the Colors panel.
