This Display | Color submenu command sets the color of the selected objects to a color other than those that appear in the Color submenu. Your system’s Color Picker dialog box appears, allowing you to specify any color your computer can display.
If your computer is set to display 256 or fewer colors, colors may not appear accurately, and you may not be able to select the exact color you want.
(Mac 5.1 only) This dialog box now attempts to recolor the selected objects dynamically as you try out different colors, allowing you to evaluate your color choice before you press OK/Cancel. This feature does not apply to objects that are displayed in multiple colors (such as captions and pictures).
