How it Works
When you click
a swatch or drag a swatch or press the Input button in the
Palette window, Tangerine performs an 'Action' on
the active application. An Action is an instruction that
tells Tangerine how to apply a color, take a color or prepare
a color for a specific application.
Actions are grouped into libraries. Each Action Library only
contains those Actions that work with a specific application.
For example, the Fireworks Action Library only contains the
Actions that work with Fireworks. The only exception to this
is the Default Actions Library. It contains generic Actions
for use with most OS X applications.
All three user actions – clicking a swatch, dragging
a swatch and pressing the Input button – can be combined
with a modifier key (the 'shift' key or the 'option' key
or the 'command' key). The use of those keys expands
the number and variety of possible Actions.
With Tangerine, you can choose which mouse/key combination
will perform a particular Action within a specified application.
A summary of the available Libraries and their Actions is listed
below.

and Retrieving Colors in Your Applications in Tangerine's
