Corel PaintShop Pro Help | Organizing layers by color

Organizing layers by color

To organize the Layers palette visually, you can specify highlight colors for layers and layer groups. The highlight color appears as the background of the icon to the left of the layer or group name. It has no effect on the image itself.

In a layer group, layers that have not been assigned individual highlight colors inherit the color of the parent layer. You can use the same highlight color for all layers in a layer group and different colors for layers in other layer groups.
