      3. # (Hexadecimal) – Enter the Hex code in the field marked with #
  7. If you don't have any of these values, you can also use the colour dropper
    1. Open an existing brochure or website that shows the desired colour
    2. Click the colour dropper icon and then click the desired colour on the document/website
    3. Once you have clicked the colour dropper, as you move your mouse you'll see the values in the # (Hexadecimal) field changing. The point at which you click the mouse is the colour that will get set
  8. To re-use the same colours again in future, once you have the desired colour showing:
    1. In the New window, click Add Custom Color
    2. You can then re-use those colours again without having to re-enter the colour codes or use the colour dropper, by selecting them from the choices at the bottom
