stevenjs,

Which version of FM are you using?

For defining a new colour, using View > Color > Definitions...:

1. Enter a *unique* name for the colour (you can't change or modify
any of the default colours that FM supplies).

2. Select how it is going to be rendered when going to print (Tint,
Spot, Process, Don't Print).

3. Select your colour model: CMYK, RGB, HLS

4. Adjust the colour component sliders (or enter values directly) to
get the colour that you want. You should see the upper swatch labelled
"New:" change dynamically.

5. Set whether the colour is to overprint or knockout on output.

6. Click the "Add" button. At this point the colour swatch for the
"Old:" value should change to the same value as that for the "New:".

The colour should now be added to the end of the list. If you click
the drop-down for the colour names at the top, you should see it at
the very bottom of the list.

If you want to select a colour from FM's supplied libraries, 

1. Click on the drop down arrow beside the "Color Libraries" entry.

2. Select the colour library that you want to use, e.g. Pantone
Uncoated.

3. You will then have a panel showing swatches of values from the
library. You can either search for a colour (by name or number) or use
the slider at the bottom to scroll through the library.

4. When you find the colour that you want, simply double-click on the
swatch.

5. The values will then be filled in the colour definitions window.

6. Click the "Add" button to add this to the document. Again, it
should show at the bottom of the list when you click on the drop down
or if you use the colour palette from the graphics tool bar.
