# Color Schemes

The Document Settings window now provides a selection of built-in color schemes. These schemes build on and extend an older Tinderbox feature and adjust many aspects of the Tinderbox document, not only color.

All Tinderbox color schemes include ten new colors, named simply “0” through “9”, intended for use in indicators and dashboards. Often, these represent a visually uniform selection of grays that complement the overall color scheme, but in some cases they might be shades of the scheme’s dominant color or hues ranging from red to green.

The primary purpose of color schemes is to define precisely what color corresponds to Tinderbox’s symbolic color names. The Standard scheme, for example, defines “blue” as a fairly dark navy, but other schemes let “blue” denote sky blue, blue-gray, or other shades entirely.

Color schemes may now include font settings and other attribute defaults as well as color definitions.
