Images that have a color depth less than 24-bit (16 million colors) are called paletted images the available colors are a subset of all the colors your computer can display. The palette varies from 2 to 256 colors, depending upon the color depth of your image. With these images, you must choose foreground and background colors from the palette rather than from the Jasc Color Picker.
Note
If you select the Rainbow Picker as your preference setting, the Available Colors panel of the Materials palette shows all colors for both paletted and non-paletted (16 million color) images. For paletted images, when you select a color on the Available Colors panel Paint Shop Pro chooses the nearest color in the palette. For more information on the Rainbow Picker, see Display and Caching Preferences.

On the Materials palette, do one of the following:
To choose the foreground color, click the Foreground Color or Foreground Material box.
