 ====== Global Colors ======
+The global colors can be found under “Setup”\\
 {{:setup:global_color_setup.gif|}}\\
+\\
+Global color is a set of 12 predefined colors that can be mapped in the fixture.\\
+It is a way to link color wheels and CMY/RGB colors together so they are easy to set.\\
+When this function in used only a reduced color palette is present in the Fixture Color control panel.\\
+\\
+The benefit of this function is that with one click it is possible to change color on many different fixtures.\\
+\\
+**“Use Global Colors”**\\
+Use global color change the color control panel to show only the 12 predefined colors.\\
+The 12 colors will be selectable though not all are present in all the selected fixtures.\\
+If only the colors that are available on all selected fixture are to be shown then enable the “Show only shared global colors”.\\
+\\
+\\
+Example:\\
+different  types of moving heads in one setup.\\
+Movinghead type 1, have Red in position 5 on the color wheel. \\
+Movinghead type 2, have Red in position 3 on the color wheel.\\
+Movinghead type 3, only have RGB color control.\\
+\\
+To set the color for all these moving heads to red, the normal way will be , Selecting all moving heads type 1 and set the color wheel to red. Then selecting all Movingheads type 2 and set the color to red and finally select all the moving heads type 3 and adjust the RGB to the correct red color.\\
+\\
+With global color enabled all fixtures are selected and the at the color control panel red is selected.\\
+\\
+The global color map automatically set the color wheel for type1 to position 5 and for type 2 to position 3.\\
+For type 3 global color move the 3 colors, RGB, to the correct position to get the color.\\
+\\
+\\
+Picture bellow is a movinghead with a color wheel where not all 12 global colors available.\\
+Without and with Global colors enabled.\\

+And here it is a fixture with RGB control and therefore all 12 Global colors are available.\\
+Without and with Global colors enabled.\\

+\\
+**“Show only shared global colors”**\\
+With this function checked “on” only the global colors that are available on all the selected fixture are shown in the color palette / wheel.\\
+Example: Global Red is defined on all the fixtures that are selected and will therefore be shown in the fixture color control panel.\\
+\\
+From the images above orange is only defined in some of the fixtures and will therefore not be shown in the fixture color control panel.\\

 \\
+**Note:** It is a relative new function and many fixtures don’t have the global color table defined.\\
+This means that if the used fixture don’t have any global colors then they are probably not defined.\\
+Open the fixture in “Fixture creator” and define the global table.\\
+Remember to up load the changed fixture to the forum so other can benefit from the change.\\
