The color picker in Dreamweaver is very flexible. Not only can you choose from a series of color swatches,
but you can also select any color onscreen with Dreamweaver??™s Eyedropper tool. The Eyedropper button has
two modes: If you select Snap To Web Safe from the color picker??™s context menu, the Eyedropper snaps the
selected color to its nearest Web-safe neighbor; if you deselect Snap To Web Safe, colors are sampled exactly.
If you??™d like to access the system color picker, the color wheel button opens it for you. You can also use the
Default Color tool, which deletes any color choice previously inserted. Finally, you can use the color picker??™s
context menu to change the swatch set shown. By default, the Color Cubes view is shown, but you can also
view swatches in a Continuous Tone configuration or in Windows OS, Macintosh OS, or Grayscale colors.
Although the Web designer may not use these options frequently, Adobe standardized the color picker
across its product line to make it easier to switch between applications.
To close the color picker without selecting a color, click in the empty gray area at the top of
the color picker.
On the PC, the Property inspector also includes an Options menu. Open this context-sensitive menu by
clicking the Options menu icon, located in the upper-right corner of the Property inspector.
