Using the color picker


In Premiere, you can specify color visually or using RGB (red, green, and blue) color values. The color picker becomes available whenever color is an option for a task you perform.

To use the Premiere color picker:

1 Do one of the following:
  • To specify a color visually, click the color you want in the color area.
  • To specify a color using RGB values, type the values you want into the Red, Green, and Blue options.

    • In the upper right corner of the color picker, the bottom half of the color swatch changes to display the color you specify. For reference, the top half of the color swatch displays the original color and does not change.

    2 If a new color swatch appears with a gamut warning symbol () next to the lower color swatch, the color you specified is outside the color gamut, or range, that NTSC video can reproduce accurately. If you are editing for NTSC video, click the swatch or gamut warning symbol to automatically move the color to the nearest color within the NTSC color gamut when the title is rendered (its appearance does not immediately change). The gamut warning symbol does not apply to PAL and SECAM video, which have a larger color gamut.

    3 Click OK.
