Working with color

You can create colors to use when working with fonts, highlighting, and graphics in WordPerfect. You can also use color models to create colors. Three color models are available: RGB, HLS, and CMYK. WordPerfect lets you preview color changes to a selection before the changes actually take place, and then apply the colors you created to graphics.
