Designation of RGBA numerical values and HEX codes

Color can be specified by directly entering RGBA numerical values or HEX codes.

  • Enter values directly in the text field in the center of the palette.

  • To switch between codes, use the icon to the right of the text field.

Tips: RGBA numerical values and HEX codes

Both RGBA numerical values and HEX codes are commonly used color codes in various design tools and development environments. They are useful for specifying exact colors and for working with other design tools.

  • RGBA Numeric

    RGBA is a color representation system using four values: red (R), green (G), blue (B), and transparency (A).

    R, G, and B are specified in the range of 0 to 255, respectively. Opacity (A) is set in the range of 0 (completely transparent) to 1 (completely opaque).

  • HEX Code

    HEX code is a method of expressing color in hexadecimal. Opacity is set in the range from 0% (completely transparent) to 100% (completely opaque).

    <Typical examples of HEX codes

    • white: #ffffff

    • black: #000000

    • red: #ff0000

    • blue: #0000ff

    • yellow:#ffffff00

Color Picker

Extract colors from a design created by another service and use the colors in the editor.

  1. Click the eyedropper icon at the left center of the palette, and the cursor will change to a circle.

  2. Move the cursor to the area you want to extract and click to extract the color.

Color Style

Colors registered in a color style can be selected from the [Style] tab at the upper right of the palette.

Point: What is a color style?

Color Style is a function to register and manage colors used repeatedly in the editor.

By simply applying a registered color, the same color can be reused, reducing the time and effort required to specify colors and preventing color variations and setting errors.

For detailed setting instructions, see How to Set Color Styles.

5. Setting Opacity

  • Opacity is set in the center right of the palette. It can also be operated in the settings area on the right panel.

  • The range is from 0% to 100% or from 0 to 1. The higher the value, the higher the opacity.

Specifying the color to be used for the gradient

You can add a slider to add a color to be used for the gradient, but the default settings are a starting point and an ending point.

  • To add a color, click on the position you wish to add and add a slider.

  • You can drag the slider to adjust its position.

  • Move the cursor over the slider and click [X] to remove it.

Adjusting the angle of the gradient
