Waldomac, while clicking on the color swatch hold down the Alt key (Windows), Option key (Mac). Then along the bottom you select the color palette you wish to use. I prefer the HSV (Hue, Saturation, Value) I find that more intuitive than RGB. Hue selects the overall color, saturation selects the richness (intensity) and value selects less or more color (from dark to light). P.S. If you start with the top swatch while in the DTE then all you need do once you set the first color is mouse click on the next swatch under it and while holding the mouse key you dip it into the top swatch who's color has already been selected. That will copy that color into the second swatch. Then bring up the HSV palette and all you need do is slide the value slider towards the left to darken it.
