    Tip from Gary Priester

    An easier and quicker way to set your color scheme is to create two linear fills, say one from Spring Green Cyan to white and the other from Spring Green Cyan to black.

    Then you can use the eyedropper tool in the Color Editor (click the tiny color wheel icon next to the screen palette) to select from these two fills.

    Tip from Egg

    What I often do if I'm creating a site is quite similar though.

    I select a colour that I want to use as the "base" colour and make it a named colour such as "base". (Clever that!)

    I create a circle, fill colour base. I clone it and move it horizontally and change the fill to white. Then apply a blend (5 to 7 steps). Convert to edible shapes and ungroup. Then I select each circle in turn, and make it a named colour, a shade of base.

    Repeat the above but blend from base to black etc.

    You then end up with 10 to 14 named shades of the base colour and by editing the base you can quickly alter all colour elements.
