Optimize Colours

The Colours tab in the Optimize Palettes dialog will only display unused colours contained in your active palettes.

The Optimize Palettes dialog will list the name of the colours, palette type, palette owner, palette path and the reason the colour is unnecessary in the scene. The palette type refers to the classification of the palette in the scene. In this column, the Optimize Palettes dialog will show whether the colour belongs to a colour palette or pencil texture palette. The palette owner is the name of the palette that contains the unused colour. The palette path shows where the palette resides on the disk.

The reason column in the Optimize Palettes dialog will show why Harmony believes the colours are unnecessary and removable from the scene.

The following are reasons that Harmony would deem a colour unnecessary:

  • Unused: No drawing is using the colour or texture in the scene.

  • Duplicate: A colour or texture is duplicated in your palette list.

Colour actions

On the bottom of the Optimize Palettes dialog are a variety of actions which can be applied to the colours listed.

You can select from the following actions:

  • Select All: Select all the colours on the Optimize Palette list.

  • Select None: Deselect all colours selected.

  • Remove: Remove colours from the palette list.

  • Close: Close the Optimize Palettes dialog.

NOTE The Delete and Merge actions are unavailable in the Colours tab.
