Color presets

A color preset is a named hex color — "Warm White", "Stage Red", "Sunset Wash" — that you can apply to any fixture in any cue with one click. Instead of picking the same color values over and over, you build a palette once and reuse it across every cue you build.

Where to manage: room config → Fixtures tab → Preset Colors section (below the fixture list).

Creating a preset

Click the add button in the Preset Colors section. Two fields:

• Name — something descriptive enough to recognize at a glance during a build session ("Warm White 3200K", "House Wash", "Altar Red")
• Color — a color picker. Enter a hex value or use the visual picker.

Save to add it to the palette. Presets appear as small colored circles throughout the cue form.

Editing presets

Click the pencil icon on any preset row to open the inline edit form. You can change both the name and the color in one step. Click Save to apply changes or Cancel to discard them.

Removing a preset

Click the trash icon next to a preset. It's removed from the palette immediately. Existing cues that used it are unaffected — their fixture colors stay exactly as they were.

Using presets in the cue form

When editing a cue, the Fixture settings section lists every fixture in the room. For each enabled fixture, you'll see:

• A row of preset swatches (small colored circles — one per preset in your palette)
• A raw color picker for any hex value not in the palette

Click a swatch to apply that preset's color to the fixture for this cue. The active preset gets a white ring. To use a color that isn't a preset, open the raw color picker.

Each fixture also has an on/off toggle — enabling a fixture for a cue means the color assignment is active; disabling it means the fixture is off for that cue (or at least not managed by CueProX for that moment).

The Lights team output shows the fixture grid reflecting these settings for the current cue — each fixture block shows its assigned color, updated in real time as the director advances.
