Flash colors tutorial 177 The swatches panel includes a series of standard colors. These are same ones you get with the Fill controls in the Tools and Parameters panel.

Let's just recall a few principles. For more information, please see the Wikipedia links in the color article. Let's define a few terms first: Hue • means "color" Saturation • means amount of a color you apply, i.e. the intensity. Brightness • How much light you apply. A lot of light makes a the color washed out and very little light makes it very dark. Transparency • How much you can see trough • See alpha channel below RGB colors RGB colors are the most popular ones used in computing applications.

E.g. to get a nice yellow you need 100% Red + 100% Green + 0% Blue. RGB is a so-called additive color mixing model. “Projection of primary color [2] lights on a screen shows secondary colors where two overlap; the combination of all three of red, green, and blue in appropriate intensities makes white.” (Wikipedia [3]). Now if you project each of these primary colors with different intensity, overlapping colors will change.
