Notes

•To remove color, select [None].

•You must add color W to the color library.

•Quick colors are relative to the object type, thus a quick color set in the Rules and dashes palette is not automatically available in the Area and colors palette.

•If the quick color was already used on the current page, and you didn't create any other quick color, nor you left the current page and returned in the meantime, the quick color is still in the list of the palette where it was created - find it and apply it.

•If the quick color was already used on the current or another page, but it's not on the list anymore, you have two choices: to create it again, with the same values, or to click the object painted with that quick color, which brings the quick color back in the list, and then apply it.
