Note: Pixelmator Pro remembers the settings you choose, the swatches you add, or the color palettes you create, so you can work with the same settings and colors across multiple documents.

To reset foreground and background colors to white and black press D on your keyboard. You can use the macOS Colors window in Pixelmator Pro, to access the native macOS color pickers such as the color wheel, sliders, or pencils. The Colors window has four sections: the different color pickers at the top color wheel, color sliders, color palettes, image palettes, and pencils ; the active color picker in the middle; the large color swatch in the lower-left to show the currently selected color; the eyedropper for picking colors; and the row of boxes to pick or save new color swatches.

Important: Colors in the color wells update based on the tool or the layer selected, so if you select a color for one tool, the colors don’t change for others except for the painting tools. Consequently, if you leave the Colors window open for one tool, and select another object in the canvas, clicking colors in the already open Colors window does not change the newly selected object.

Some tools in Pixelmator Pro let you fill an object with a transition between two or more colors instead of one solid color. You can choose from the gradient presets that come with Pixelmator Pro or create and save your own. You can also fill any layer with a gradient using the Gradient Fill effect. A gradient will always have at least two colors. Each color is represented by color stops on a fill bar. You can change how the gradient looks by adding or removing stops, adjusting their position, and setting the color and transparency of each.

See Fill a layer with a color or gradient or Apply fill effects to learn about the additional customization options when working with gradient styles and effects.
