The Color Selection dialog box appears when you change an existing thread color or select a new thread color. It is also used in the Load Design Wizard to choose the first thread color for new embroideries.
You may choose any thread shade from the available thread manufacturers' palettes (for instance, Sulky Rayon 40 or Robison-Anton Cotton 50) or a thread you have added to My Threads. Select colors by visual selection or by typing in a shade number. Alternatively, click one of the Quick Colors to select the nearest matching thread color. Once the desired color is selected, click OK. Optionally, add a thread or needle effect to the selected color block.
