The Color Editor is used to edit the color of objects (local colors) and to create and change named colors. It allows you to edit colors using a range of color models and even allows you to create colors which are linked to other colors (their 'parent' color) so that when the parent color changes, all connected colors will also change - see Color Editor - Advanced. For information about colors in Xara LX, see the Colors Overview.
