Clicking ‘Add’ will pop-up a color window where you can choose color. As you choose colors, they will add to the list of colors starting at number one. There will have to be at least two colors chosen for the color theme – one for Primary and one for Secondary color.

Once a new color scheme is created as in Figure 38 and Figure 39, click the Save icon to add the new theme. In this example, the new color scheme is named In the Pink.
