The Color Element, or Color Field, is used to add a patch of specific color to a page on the Ad, as a way of highlighting individual areas of the page. If, for example, you want the headline of an Ad to appear inside a brightly colored box, you might superimpose the Text Element for the headline on top of a specially configured Color Element. The following table looks at the settings of a Color Element.
