You can add fill colors to layers such as frames, shapes, masks, sections, components, text, etc., add stroke colors to strokes, and add colors to the canvas background.

Once you added the colors, you can edit color properties in the color picker. Click the color in the fill, stroke color, selection colors or canvas background to open the color picker.

Here's an explanation of the features in the color picker, numbered according to the image:

  1. In the top-left, you can choose from fill types to use a solid color, gradients (linear, radial, angular, diamond), or an image as a fill for the target object.
  2. In the top-right corner, you can click the droplet icon to apply a blend mode to the layer.
  3. The white circle is the main color picker; click and drag the white circle to choose a color. More information about color configuration can be seen below.
  4. Click the eyedropper tool on the left to select any color from the canvas.
  5. Adjust the hue using the first slider below the palette. Click and drag left or right to adjust.

Eyedropper Tool

You can use the eyedropper tool to identify the color of any object on the canvas and apply it to the target layer.

Steps to use the eyedropper tool:

  1. Select the layer you want to edit.

  2. In the right sidebar, find the property you want to change (fill, stroke, etc.), click to open the color picker on the left, click the eyedropper tool icon next to the slider, or use I . Mac users can also use Control + C .

  3. Use the eyedropper tool to hover over the color in the canvas you want to sample. The magnifier on the right will display the color and corresponding RGB / HSB / HSL codes of the sampled pixel.

  4. Click and the sampled color will be applied to selected layers.

Color models

  • HEX: Hex refers to Hexadecimal colors. Creatie uses this color model by default. This is an alphanumeric shorthand representative of the RGB values.

  • CSS: The CSS color model provides the CSS-friendly format for the current selected color. You can just copy and paste it into style sheets, including the formatting.

  • RGB: RGB is an industrial color standard. It defines colors by varying the intensity of red (R), green (G), and blue (B) channels and their overlap. RGB covers almost all colors perceptible to the human eye and is one of the most widely used color systems.

  • HSL: This model represents points in the RGB color model in a cylindrical coordinate system. HSL and HSB attempt to be more intuitive than RGB based on Cartesian coordinates. It is one of the most widely used color systems.

  • HSB: Also known as HSV, HSB represents a color model where H (hue) represents the color, S (saturation) represents the intensity, and B (brightness) represents the brightness. HSB corresponds well with human vision.

Palette tool

You can accurately and quickly apply colors in the current file or use the basic palette to the selected layer by clicking on the color blocks provided by the palette tool.

The basic palette provides eight gradations of grayscale colors with opacity and eight hue colors based on a color wheel and design scenarios. It defines eight commonly used colors in design.
