Hyperlinks have two properties that colors can be assigned to: text color and hover color. Either can be set to a default color, to a commonly used color, or to a color stored in a string variable.

  • Default—Assigns the default color.

  • Color—allows you to select from a palette of common colors, or choose your own by entering RGB values or by moving the color picker to a new spectrum position. Setting the color for text and background is a property in the Appearance panel. This property panel is only available for components that have the color functionality.
    Click Choose to assign the current selection.
