# Creating a Palette

For each character and object in your movie, you can have a different palette that contains the customized color swatches organized by palette style. Having individual palettes allows you to control the unique color properties of each part of your scene.

For example, let’s say you have a movie with two characters and takes place in two different lighting sets. You would create two palettes (one for each character) that would each have two palette styles (one for each light change).

To create a new palette:

- In the Color Palette tab, click the Contextual Menu button and select Palette > New Palette from the pop-up menu. A new palette appears in the Palette Name drop-list with a default name.
