+<p>
+ New tracks in Ardour are assigned a random color from a pastel color
+ palette, so they should never end up being particularly bright or
+ particularly dark.
+</p>
+<h2>Changing the color of specific tracks</h2>
+<p>
+ Select the tracks whose color you wish to change. Context-click
+ on the track header of one of them. From the context menu, select
+ <kbd class="menu">Color</kbd> and pick a hue to your taste in the
+ color dialog. Every selected track will be
+ re-colored.
+</p>
+<p>
+ Note that if you are only changing one track, context-clicking on
+ that track's header will be enough to select it, saving the extra
+ mouse click.
+</p>
+
+<h2>Changing the color of all tracks in a group</h2>
+<p>
+ Tracks that belong to a
+ <a href="/working-with-tracks/track-and-bus-groups/">track/bus group</a>
+ can share a common color by enabling the <kbd
+ class="option">Color</kbd> option for the group. With this enabled,
+ any color change will be propagated to all group members.
+</p>
+<p>
+ You can also explicitly change the group color by context-clicking
+ on the group tab in the Mixer, selecting <kbd class="menu">Edit
+ Group...</kbd> and then clicking on the Color selector in that dialog
+ that is displayed.
