The More option at the bottom of the list can be used to invoke the color selection dialog…
This dialog offers several ways of defining a color. You can pick from the palette, pick from
the “rainbow” window, or enter the explicit HSL or RGB parameters. The dialog also allows
custom colors to be added to the palette. These will appear whenever the dialog is invoked,
and will also appear in the drop-down list described above. Note that not every color that is
displayed in the “rainbow” will be capable of being rendered on the Gateway’s 256-color
display. Fieldbus Gateway Manager will choose the nearest color within the abilities of the
device.
