Modifying the Color Scheme

The most efficient way to add color to your drawing is to use the color scheme functionality, which will change your shapes, background, and text all at once.

Step 1: Right-click on your workspace and select "Color Schemes" .

Step 2: The color scheme menu will open, select a scheme from the menu and click apply. Preview different color schemes, then select "OK" when you find one you like.

Step 3: Sometimes you need to change the color of one or two shapes for impact. To do this, select the shape you wish to change (A), then click on the paint bucket tool, located in the formatting toolbar. Select a color by clicking on it, and only the shape you selected will change.
