Style

Set the color style. Choices are:

Solid: the stroke and fill to be visible and have the color and screen values you select
None: the stroke and fill will not be displayed or printed; you cannot choose a color or screen. Use this choice to remove all color from a shape.

Color

Set the color. The choices are selected from the list established when you created the document, including black and white.

Click Change, (described below) to change the available color.

Screen

Set the color screen. Screens are an economical way of adding color variety using a single-color process. They also enable you to add shading without using a different color. Select a value between 10% and 100%, in 10% increments (plus 15%). The lower the value, the lighter the color appears.

TIP: If you are using shading to create an underlay, use ‘none’ as the color. Any gradient of shade, or the color white, will be screened at 50%, and appear grayed out.
