Choose a color
 
 
 

Change the color of brushes. SketchBook comes with an assortment of default colors. But, if you can’t find what you want, create your own. Or, if a client has a set color palette, pick the colors and add them to your palette. With all these additions, if the palette is too large, hide what isn’t needed.
