Many users find a colour picker the easiest way to search for colours. However, sometimes you need to restrict the colours you pick to a particular colour file. This may be a colour file of the latest trend colours, or colours specified by a customer.

To do this using the AVA Multiview Picker, follow the steps below:

1. Hold down ⌥ (option key) and click on the colour you want to change to open the picker.
2. Hold down ^ (control key) as you change the colour within the picker. This will link the colour you are selecting to the closest colour in your active colour file. If you have your Layers Palette set to show colour names, you will see the colour name change as you move around the picker.
