Adding a Color

When adding a color, you'll need to provide the following information:

  • Enter the color name, which represents the specific shade of the color.
  • Enter the color code. It's recommended to use the Hex color code format, which provides a unique identifier for each color shade.

When you enter the color code, the system displays the corresponding color shade, making it easier to distinguish between different shades of the same color name.

Once a color is added, it becomes available for selection when assigning colors to styles or production orders.
