Color Libraries

Built-in Libraries

Darty Ai, comes with two built in color libraries, Darty 1000, a collection of 1000 colors and the standard CSS named colors.
The names can be used as values for any of the color property in the spreadsheets.
For example if you enter "Aero" as a fill color, the color "Aero" will be used.
If the color name contains a space for example "Air Superiority Blue", you should either wrap the name in quotes, leave out the spaces, AirSuperiorityBlue or replace the spaces with underscores, Air_Superiority_Blue.
You can use the copy icon next to each color name to copy, the name, if the name contains spaces, the copied name will automatically be quoted.
These two libraries are read-only, but you can disable them and disable individual colors from the these libraries.

To see the named colors, go to the color tab of settings and use the scrollbar to see the colors of a particular library.
You can change the height of the color table by holding the mouse button down and moving the mouse up or down.
To search for colors use the filter search field, type in part of the name and the list will be filtered.
