# Working with palettes

Whether you're creating a high-color or a low-color image, Pixen's palette functionality can help you find and use the colors you need quickly. This is what a common configuration looks like:

To view the document's palette:

or

Use the Palette > Show Document Palette menu item.

To access a saved or included palette:

- Open a Pixen palette panel by clicking the Palette icon in a document's toolbar or by clicking the Pixen Colors icon in a color panel's toolbar.
- Choose the desired palette from the drop-down menu.

Once you have the palette you want to displayed, you can choose a color from it by clicking, edit a color by double-clicking, or reorder the colors by dragging.

Want to have Crayons and Pastels open at the same time? No problem. Click the pop out () button to get another panel. Pixen aims to imitate a real-life artist's palette.
