B 990 Colors Function Part 4: Color Wheel, Color Bar

Ready to remix your embroidery palette like a pro? The B 990’s Color Wheel function gives you the power to modify thread colors—one at a time or all at once—with just a few taps. Whether you're chasing the perfect shade or experimenting with bold new combos, this tool makes color customization intuitive and fun.

What Is the Color Wheel?

The Color Wheel is your creative playground. 

• View all the thread colors in your design on a color wheel.
• Select individual colors to preview and adjust.
• Modify every color at once for a full-spectrum refresh.

Meet the Color Bar

At the top of the Color Wheel screen, you’ll find the Color Bar—a visual lineup of all the thread colors used in your embroidery design. Here’s how it works:

• In the Color Bar the color highlighted with a blue circle is your current selection. 
• Want to select a different color? Just tap another color in the bar.
• Can’t find the color you’re looking for? Hover just below the Color Bar until the slider appears. Slide through to reveal additional colors ready for re-coloring.

It's a ton of fun, try it!
