The color selection interface is used to select a color for an element of the page. There are a variety of standard colors, but a fully custom color can be chosen using Red, Green, and Blue values. Regardless of how the color is chosen, the RGB values of the color, and a large-scale preview of the color are displayed to the right of the standard color grid.
