# How do I create Color Presets?

Color Presets let you set up a reusable set of colors for each annotation tool — perfect for a color-coding system — and you create them right in the Style Palette.

While using annotation tools such as [text marking](https://help.scriptation.com/en/article/how-do-i-use-the-text-marking-tools-highlight-underline-squiggle-and-strikethrough-5i7wnp/), [typing](https://help.scriptation.com/en/article/typing-notes-with-text-boxes-and-callouts-1t835l5/), [free draw](https://help.scriptation.com/en/article/free-write-or-draw-1lqyfn3/), or [shapes](https://help.scriptation.com/en/article/how-can-i-draw-lines-arrows-and-shapes-d6rbk8/), **tap the colored circle** on the Toolbar to open the **Style Palette**. From there you can customize colors, fonts, opacity, and line weight — the options shown depend on the tool.

Each tool has its own set of **Color Presets**. For example, here's the Style Palette for the Rectangle tool:

To edit a preset, tap the **Color Preset** slot you'd like to change. Any color and opacity changes made while that slot is selected are saved to it for later use.

| ✅ TIP: Need more preset slots? Use [Saved Annotations](https://help.scriptation.com/en/article/what-are-saved-annotations-and-how-do-i-use-them-1rerp7z/) to build a library of your most-used annotations.

Tapping **Color** or **Fill Color** opens the Color Menu, which offers several ways to choose a color.

The default is the **Color Grid** — choose from 120 preselected colors:

Tap **Sliders** to zero in on exact RGB values, or enter a Display P3 hex color manually:

And from any of these screens, tap the **Color Picker Eyedropper** in the upper left to grab an exact color from the document:

| ✅ TIP: You can also save color selections in the bottom section of each color screen so you can return to them.

|| 📝 NOTE: Color Presets are specific to the device they're created on.
