To make it easy to see what belongs to an option and what does not, a colour is assigned for each option. You can manually type a colour number from 1 to 255 in the Colour field, or use the Select colour… button to make a selection using a dialogue box that is shown below.

 

 

The colour of an option will be used for objects that, if they were not part of the option, would be located in layer 0. Typically, in IEC1082 projects, that will correspond to electrical layers mainly containing ordinary lines and circuit diagram symbols.

 

Please note that only so-called index colours are supported, meaning colour specified by a single integer in the range from 1 to 255. True colour and colour books are not supported. If you try to select such a colour, the closest index colour will be used instead.
