PUB2000: Single-Color Graphics May Be Lighter After Recoloring
This article was previously published under Q207620
If you recolor a picture that has only one color in it, the result may be
lighter than you expect. For example, if you have a graphic that is light
yellow, and you try to recolor it to black, the graphic will turn gray.
When you recolor a picture, Publisher converts the image to grayscale and
then maps that grayscale onto the color that you choose. If your single-
color picture is not black to begin with, it is converted to a shade of
gray; that gray is in turn converted to a tint of the color you want.
To recolor a picture, follow these steps:
- Select the picture you want to recolor.
- On the Format menu, click Recolor.
- Choose the desired color.
- Click the option Leave black parts black, and click OK.
Now your picture should be properly recolored to the desired color.
APPLIES TO
- Microsoft Publisher 2000 Standard Edition

Community Feedback System
Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high
and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances
are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back.
Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what
didn't.
Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be
correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each
other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're
not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry
edits), please consult a professional.
