Using color schemes
WebPlus offers an impressive selection of color schemes that can be selected
when creating a site using a design template or from scratch. If you choose a
template-based site, the selection of a color scheme will set the look and feel of
your site with respect to color, as all templates are already "schemed". Selecting
each scheme dramatically changes the colors of page elements in your page
layout with just one click!
When you initially create your site from a template you can select either one of
three color schemes designed specifically for that template design, or just use
any of the global color schemes. See Creating a site using a design template on
p. 20.
Creating schemes from scratch
Websites created from scratch can use any global color scheme—but you'll have
to initially assign scheme color to objects (see p. 321) as they are created to
make color scheming work. This will allow dramatic color change if you
subsequently change schemes.
