Hi Lisa, We have added extensive documentation about solid colours to 1.3.9. Just open the Help Browser (F1) and look under "Documentation > Scribus Basics" and start with "Editing Colors". These documents should answer all your questions, and if they don't, please reply to this message and tell me what's missing, so I can add it for 1.4. Cheers, Christoph
