Advanced features of the Color panel When color precision matters.
Floating color swatch The current color swatch may be dragged out of the panel to compare the color changes with their planned context in the artwork
General description of the Color panel can be found on page 118
Drag the dynamic color swatch out of the panel to compare with your artwork
Colors may look dramatically different in different context. Use the floating swatch for the most precise color comparison.
The Floating Swatch remains on the screen only as long as the Color panel is open. It can be repositioned to any part of the screen.
"Compare tone" option displays the tone (grayscale value) of the color below the color swatch
Pro stuff: This option allows you to assess the tone (grayscale value) of current color against the previous color. Adjust the saturation and brightness of the new color until its grayscale component looks identical to the previous one. The "Compare Tone" is an extension of the Tone Lock feature (See p. 130). Unlike the Tone Lock, this feature allows you to alter both the hue and the saturation of the color while keeping its tone constant.
