-title: Track Color
----
-
-<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.
