The Swatches tab provides a palette of pre-defined colors. From the palette, select a color. Once you have selected a color, the Recent field displays that color, as also does the Preview field. Click OK, and the Color Chooser dialog will close. Depending on where you accessed the Color Chooser, you will have to click either Apply or OK for the color change to appear in the display area.

For example, for a stream alignment, you would have accessed the Color Chooser from the Stream Alignment Properties dialog (Stream Alignment Layer). Once you have selected the color from the Color Chooser dialog and clicked OK, you will need to click OK or Apply from the Stream Alignment Properties dialog. Then you need to click OK from the Map Layer dialog for the color change to appear in the Map Window.
