Apple DVD Studio Pro 4 - Manual (Page 249)

Both simple and advanced overlays use the same color mapping palette and color mapping
sets. When you map a color in a simple overlay, you are also mapping the color to the
black overlay color in the advanced overlay.
You can use simple overlay mapping for some buttons and advanced overlay mapping
for other buttons on the same menu.
Color Mapping Palette
The DVD specification allows a single 16-color palette to be assigned to each menu. This
palette provides the colors used by the overlay to create the three button states. You can
set each of the 16 colors and save the palette as the default palette for DVD Studio Pro.
You can also create a different palette for each menu.
Note: Avoid choosing highly saturated colors. All colors used in your project must conform
to broadcast limits. If necessary, the colors are restricted during playback and you may
find the colors you configured do not match those used in the title.
Setting the Colors in the Color Palette
You set each of the 16 colors in the palette independently.

process. Click the close button once you have set the colors in the Color Palette.
