How Do I Change the Color of Objects within a Lasernet Form?

Lasernet has a number of different methods for changing the color of objects in the Forms Editor.

Default Colors in Lasernet

Lasernet uses five default colors: red, green, blue, white, and black. However, HEX color codes can be used to allow for a greater range of colors. For example, a light orange using the hex code #fadda2.
