The current blend tool allows you to see the many different types of color blends you can create and use for any design, and it’s pretty cool to use . Very useful, the edit active color lets you go from one color to the next, different shades of any color. I think that tool is okay, it’s basically the same thing you use in either Adobe photoshop or illustrator. These are but a few of the many tools to use when working with color and I like the results these tools show me, and it helps when I am looking for the right colors to work.
