Quick color offers access to four common types of HTML coloring:

Simple Color Value: 0000FF
Font tag with color attribute: <FONT COLOR="#FF8000"></FONT>
Color attribute only: COLOR=#408080
Background color: BGCOLOR=#FF8040

Notice how the four options listed above correspond to the above picture of the quick color feature being activated from the menu bar, four choices shown as four subordinate menu options. Also note that the above picture of the quick color feature being activated from the toolbar only shows the last three options as listed above. This is because the four quick color options are broken down into two separate toolbar functions. Clicking on the color palette button will invoke the simple color value, clicking on arrow next to the color palette button will drop down a menu with the other three quick color options.

These four options allow flexibility for coloring text, adding a color attribute to a tag which supports it, or changing the color value of an existing tag with the color attribute defined.
