MashZone 2.1 has another great new feature. It now allows users to set the colors for their graphics themselves in order to, for example, use their corporate identity (CI) colors in MashApps.
There are two ways to do this.

Then, you can select the customized color codes under Criterion -> Colors.
The result could for example, look like this:
