Change the line’s color

2. Choose the new color

   To choose the color:

   1. There are 2 options for this step:
      Option 1
      Type the Hex Color Code into the field.
       
      Option 2
      1. Click on the "White+Color" field to choose how much white is mixed with a color.
          
      2. (Optional) Click on the Shade Bar to choose how much gray or black is mixed with the "White+Color".
          
       
   2. (Optional) In the "Opacity" field, type-in the non-transparency percentage of the final color.
      The opacity value:
      • 0% is invisible.
      • 50% is see-through.
      • 100% is the solid color.

   Note: Instead of using the above method, you can choose a color by clicking to select a color swatch square.
