# Offsetting Colors in a Palette Style

Toon Boom Studioprovides you with a powerful feature for tinting the color properties of all swatches in a palette style simultaneously.

Using the Tint Offset dialog box you can add or subtract RGB/HSB and Alpha (transparency) values from all of the swatches in a selected palette style to suit a specific situation. This eliminates the need to make time consuming individual adjustments to each swatch, removes the possibility of inconsistent results, and provides uniform color adjustment.

Changing the offset properties adjusts the color properties of the swatches in the current palette style.

For example, you can increase the amount of red in a palette, which makes reds redder and blues more purple.

If you want to mix a new color into a palette style, you must use the Tint Blend dialog box.

To tint all of the colors in a palette style:

1. Select the palette and the palette style you want to modify from the Color Palette tab.

2. Click the Contextual Menu button and select Style > Tint Offset. The Tint Offset dialog box opens.

3. Select the type of adjustment you want to make to the palette style. You have two choices:

- RGB: adjusts the Red, Green, and Blue values in the current palette.
- HSB: adjusts the Hue, Saturation, and Brightness values in the current palette.

4. Using the sliders/fields, adjust the RGB or HSB values in the current palette.

As you make adjustments in this dialog box, the swatches in the current palette style change as well as the drawings that use those swatches, but the changes only become permanent when you click OK.

You can also use the Alpha slider/field to adjust the amount of transparency in the current palette style colors.

5. Use the Blending slider to change the intensity of the current RGB/HSB and Alpha values by a selected percentage.

6. Click OK when done.
