<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>
Changing the color of a track is done by selecting the track(s) and
<kbd class="mouse">right</kbd> clicking on the track header of one of them then
from the context menu, selecting <kbd class="menu">Color</kbd> and picking a hue
in the color dialog. Every selected track will be re-colored.
</p>
<p class="note">
If only one track is changed, <kbd class="mouse">right</kbd> 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="@@the-track-and-bus-group-list">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>
The group color can also be explicitly changed by context-clicking
on the group tab in the Mixer, selecting <kbd class="menu">Edit
Group&hellip;</kbd> and then clicking on the Color selector in the displayed
dialog.
