Using the Colour Palette

The first thing we need to do is to put a bit of colour on our image.  

Use your floodfill tool and single click on your image.

Your image will now be the same colour as one of the colours in your Colour Palette.  If you left clicked it will be the same colour as the first colour and if you right clicked it will be the same colour as the second colour.  I left clicked so this is what mine looks like:

You will notice that there is a double-headed arrow between the 2 colours in this part of your Colour Palette.

Single left click on those arrows.  You'll notice that you still have the same colours, but they have changed place now.  

With your floodfill tool still selected, single click on your image again, like you did above.  I left clicked above so I'm going to left click again.  This is what my image looks like now.

Congratulations!  Now you know the basics of how to use the Colour Palette!!  :o)

If you look up at the top of your Colour Palette, you will notice that the colours in the top part have changed place now too.

You will notice that there is a double-headed arrow between those 2 boxes too.  Single left click on them and you will notice that the colours have swapped places back to where they were before.  

These 2 sections of the Colour Palette do the same thing with solid colours.  There are differences between them that I will go into later, but for now, let's think of them as doing the same thing.
