Creating Custom Colors

Financial Reporting provides a palette of basic colors for text in reports and other artifacts. Using Financial Reporting, you can add to that palette by defining custom colors.

Note:

Custom colors are not saved between Studio sessions.

  To define a custom color:

  1. Create a grid in a report in the Report Designer, or open an existing report containing a grid.

  2. Select the cells that you want to format.

  3. Select Format and then Cells to access the Format Cells dialog box.

  4. Select the Font tab, and then Click Select in the Effects section to display the Color dialog box.

  5. Select Define Custom Colors, and then specify Hue, Sat (saturation), Lum (luminescence), and percentage of red, green, and blue for the color.

    As you specify the color properties, the Color/Solid box displays the current state of the color.

  6. When you are done, select Add to Custom Colors, then click OK in the Color dialog box, and then OK again in the Format Cells dialog box to save the color definition.

    To discard the color definition, click Cancel in the Color and the Format Cells dialog boxes.
