Buttons with single colors?

I have only LED pars right now. I'm starting simple, which is definitely helping me learn the software
So far my cue list contains simple fades and some strobing. I have nothing showing up in any of the "buttons". I don't know how to set them up... but is there a way to set up a specific color per button? Or is that just repetitive to selecting a color from the color wheel/box on the fly? Or would it be best to simply make a cue entry for each color I may want to blast at any given time?

Overrides would be the way I'd do it.
Looks like there isn't a Wiki entry on Overrides, though.... Bummer, because a) It's a little complex and can't really be easily explained in a forum reply, and b) Looks like someone needs to write up the Wiki entry....

Usually there is no "right" way to do something... You have to find out which way works best for you!
I have some override buttons to change all colors of all fixtures. But normaly I use the submaster to select predefined sets of colors or use the color wheel/box on the fly (for LED fixtures mostly).
Play around and find which way you like

Okay, since no one wants to step up and volunteer, I guess I will write up the Wiki.....

I would, Gary, but I'm not quite in that position!! LOL. I just found out I'm on for lights in one week. After I regained consciousness I remembered that this particular venue has lights already, and it is a small birthday show, so if I screw up it won't be the end of the world. However... rubber has to hit the road.
I'll read on Override buttons. I've seen the blue triangles with ! in them, but I didn't know how I got them.
