To reset the colors, you have to either remove the existing System file and reinstall System 7.5, or you can manually reset the color values. To manually reset the color values, follow these steps:
Step 1
Open the Labels control panel. Each label has a color box on the left and the name on the right.
Step 2
Click on the color box to open the "color picker."
The Color Picker is slightly different from the one used in System 7. The newer version uses Hue Angle, Saturation, and Lightness settings in the default position. Selecting "more Choices" lets you select Apple HSL or Apple RGB Color Monitor options. Either one can be used to reset the colors.
NOTE: System 7.1 used Hue, Saturation, and Brightness which had different values. See related article, "System 7: Defaults for Labels Control Panel Colors" for more information.
