The Color Menu is a central feature of Cadmium. It contains a color wheel where you can choose, adjust, and input color values, and a Palette where Cadmium keeps track of all colors in your file.
Color Menu Interface

​
The Color Wheel

The Color Wheel can be interacted with to choose new colors, and there’s an input box for copy-pasting hex codes.
  • The large color block below the wheel displays the currently selected color.
  • The small rectangle on the right is the secondary color — click it or press X to swap.
  • Below this, you can set the canvas background color to the currently selected color.

​
The Color Palette

Any time a new color is introduced to your frames (via a reference image, or by selecting from the color wheel), a swatch appears in the Palette.
  • Click a swatch to select it
  • Drag to reorder swatches
  • Double-click to change the currently selected color to this swatch
  • Change Color — select the swatch you want to change, pick a new color, and press the “Change Color” button to globally replace it
  • Simplify Palette — finds near-neighboring colors and merges them into one
  • Shift-click to select multiple swatches, or use the Select All button
  • Delete Color removes any selected swatches
