Naming a Swatch


Although Toon Boom Studio gives the current swatch a default name you can change it to one that describes where you intend to use the color. The swatch name is more than just a label: it’s a way of defining a color zone in your drawing.

For example, let’s say you use a swatch called Skintone and you use this swatch in all of your character’s skin zones. If you decide you want to darken a character’s skin color, you only need to adjust the Skintone swatch. If you applied the Skintone swatch on only the character’s skin zones, Toon Boom Studio updates all the drawings accurately.

To change the Name of an existing color swatch in your palette:

1. On the Color Palette tab, click the Show/Hide Color Names button to display the swatch names.

2. Double-click the swatch name and type the new swatch name in the field.

3. Press [Return] when you are done.
