How do I select highlight color?

Published in Color Selection 2 mins read

You can select a highlight color using standard color options or by choosing a custom color with a color wheel or color picker.

The specific steps depend on the application you're using (e.g., Microsoft Word, Adobe Photoshop, a web browser extension). However, the general process usually involves the following:

  1. Locate the Highlight Tool: Find the highlight tool or feature within the application's toolbar, menu, or ribbon.
  2. Access Color Options: Once the highlight tool is selected, look for a color palette or a "more colors" option.
  3. Choose a Color:
    • Standard Colors: Select from a predefined set of colors.
    • Custom Colors: If you need a specific color, the "more colors" option typically provides:
      • Color Wheel: Visually select a color by clicking on the wheel and adjusting brightness/saturation.
      • Color Picker: Enter specific color values (e.g., RGB, HSL, Hex code) to define the exact color you want.

Here's a hypothetical example using Microsoft Word:

  1. Select the text you want to highlight.
  2. Go to the "Home" tab.
  3. Click the arrow next to the "Text Highlight Color" button.
  4. Choose a standard color from the palette, or select "More Colors..."
  5. In the "Colors" dialog box, you can choose a color from the "Standard" tab (preset colors) or the "Custom" tab (color wheel/picker).
