<p>
New tracks in Ardour are assigned a random color from a pastel color
palette, so they should never end up being particularly bright or
particularly dark.
</p>
<h2>Changing the color of specific tracks</h2>
<p>
Select the tracks whose color you wish to change. Context-click
on the track header of one of them. From the context menu, select
<kbd class="menu">Color</kbd> and pick a hue to your taste in the
color dialog. Every selected track will be
re-colored.
</p>
<p>
Note that if you are only changing one track, context-clicking on
that track's header will be enough to select it, saving the extra
mouse click.
</p>
<h2>Changing the color of all tracks in a group</h2>
<p>
Tracks that belong to a
<a href="/working-with-tracks/track-and-bus-groups/">track/bus group</a>
can share a common color by enabling the <kbd
class="option">Color</kbd> option for the group. With this enabled,
any color change will be propagated to all group members.
</p>
<p>
You can also explicitly change the group color by context-clicking
on the group tab in the Mixer, selecting <kbd class="menu">Edit
Group...</kbd> and then clicking on the Color selector in that dialog
that is displayed.
