Colors Settings
---------------

This menu allows you to add some custom colors that you can later find in each
:ref:`color selector dialog <color-selector>`, as standard colors.
This menu allows you to create or update palettes of colors used throughout the
application in the :ref:`color selector widget <color_widget>`. You can choose
from:

* :guilabel:`Recent colors` showing recently used colors;
* :guilabel:`Standard colors`, the default palette of colors;
* :guilabel:`Project colors`, a set of colors specific to the current project;
* :guilabel:`New layer colors`, a set of colors to use by default when new
layers are added to QGIS;
* or custom palette(s) you can create or import using the :guilabel:`...`
button next to the palette combobox.

By default, :guilabel:`Recent colors`, :guilabel:`Standard colors` and
:guilabel:`Project colors` palettes can not be removed and are set to appear in
the color button drop-down. Custom palettes can also be added to this widget
thanks to the :guilabel:`Show in Color Buttons` option.

For any of the palettes, you can manage the list of colors using the set of
tools next to the frame, ie:

* add or remove colors;
* copy or paste colors;
* import or export the set of colors from/to :file:`.gpl` file.

Double-click a color in the list to tweak or replace it in the :ref:`Color
Selector <color-selector>` dialog.
