Color Tool
The Color Tool — on the Color tab of the Controls window — provides integrated color mixing with multiple color modes and real-time preview.
Colors apply to the fixtures currently selected in the programmer. The tool reads each selected fixture’s patch profile to map your color onto its real RGB channels; fixtures without RGB channels (e.g. a color wheel) are shown as unmappable rather than guessed.
