 <h3>Manual Methods</h3>
 <h4>Making a New Color</h4>
 <p>Here is the new dialog we now get with <i>Edit > Colors</i>, now renamed <i>Manage Paints</i> for 1.5+ versions of Scribus. You may notice that the default palette is now <i>Scribus Small</i>, similar to <i>Scribus Basic</i>, but with fewer blacks, and no RGB colors. A more obvious change is that now we can edit Patterns and Gradients here, though this screenshot shows neither are present in the default state.</p>
-<p>A less obvious change is that there is only one functional mode for <i>Edit > Colors</i>, in other words, you get the same dialog whether or not a document is open. What this means is that you can now manage color sets even while a document is open. Here we see what is usable when the dialog first appears, and a sensible question would be, "How do I add a color when the <i>Add</i> button is greyed out?". The answer: click <i>Solid Colors</i> to highlight it, and THEN we can see that the <i>Import</i>, <i>Add</i>, and <i>Remove Unused</i> buttons are now active. We can't <i>Edit</i> or <i>Duplicate</i> because we haven't selected a particular color. But wait! We can <i>Delete</i>? Yes – we can delete every single color in the palette! So be mindful of this.</p>

A difference is that with no document open we can <i>change</i> a color set to something else, but with a document open we can <i>merge</i> another color set with the current one.</p>

 <blockquote>If you do delete all your colors, what happens with this palette is that you are left with Black, Registration Black, and White. Incidentally, this is also the end result when click <i>Remove Unused</i> with an empty document.</blockquote>
