Ain't you workin'?

Do you have a picture or a sample of the color you have in mind? Coppertone girl tan? Or What?

I mean... If you can show me something somewhat like the color you're after, I can give you the recipe and you can play with it till you get what you want.
You should get ColorSpy, it's free and works well!

Try #FBBF7A... That's the color of Elvis' guitar up there on the banner! If it's that one that's up there when you look this up!

Well, it's got to be that banner that's on there when you're screening this page... Or did you get rid of banners?

How the h... Would I know?
Type it in the mixer... And use the top right arrow menu to "add swatch". It should appear in the lower row. Don't know if it'll stay there next time you open the application, though! Maybe you have to save that swatch on top of that?

Once you've added it... Just save as default! In the swatches menu!

Carl,
In the Mixer panel, double click the fill icon. Type in your color recipe (edit the one that's there! - leave the # sign), your color will appear in the fill box. From the top-right arrow menu (on this panel), select Add Swatch.

Now switch to the Swatches panel. Scroll down... Your color should appear in the bottom row. If not, there's something you did wrong in the above first step. Now, if it does appear, from this Swatches panel's right arrow menu, select Save as Default.
Next time you open up the application, if your color(s) ain't there... From the Swatches panel's right arrow menu, try Load Default Colors.

The patience of a saint...I'm telling you!
