After you??™ve opened the text color picker by selecting the color box on the Property inspector, the cursor
changes shape into an eyedropper that can sample colors from any of the displayed swatches or from any
color onscreen. Simply click the color box and drag the eyedropper over any graphic to choose a color.
If you choose a color outside of the safe range, you have no assurances of how the color is rendered on a
viewer??™s browser. Some systems select the closest color in RGB values; some use dithering (positioning two or
more colors next to each other to simulate another color) to try to overcome the limitations of the current
screen color depth. Therefore, be forewarned: If possible, stick with the browser-safe colors, especially when
coloring text. Select the Snap-To-Web??“Safe option in the color picker??™s context menu to automatically convert
the colors you choose to the closest browser-safe color.
Mac Users: Bring up the system color picker by clicking the System Color Picker button on the Dreamweaver
color picker. The system color picker for Macintosh is far more elaborate than the one available for Windows.
The Mac version has several color schemes to use: CMYK (for print-related colors), RGB (for screen-based colors),
HTML (for Web-based colors), and Crayon (for kid-like colors).
