Creating Custom Colors

One attribute of a NerveCenter severity is it color. This color can be one of 48 predefined colors or one of 16 custom (user-defined) colors. This section explains how to create a custom color that you can use later in the definition of a severity.

The Severity List window is displayed.
Select the New button in the Severity List window.
The New Severity window is displayed.
Select the Change Color button in the New Severity window.
The Color window is displayed. This window shows NerveCenter's predefined colors and any previously defined custom colors.
Select the Define Custom Colors button in the Color window.
The Color window expands to include an area for creating custom colors.
Specify the custom color you want to define by following the directions below. The color is displayed in the Color|Solid color box.
1. Drag the crosshairs in the large colored area horizontally to establish the desired hue.
2. Drag the crosshairs vertically to establish the desired amount of saturation.
  Moving the crosshairs up increases the amount of saturation, and moving them down decreases the amount of saturation.
3. Drag the arrowhead to the right of the long, narrow colored area to establish the color's luminance.
  Moving the arrowhead up increases the color's luminance, and moving it down decreases the color's luminance.
