When creating a mosaic from scratch, you can adjust the tile color by adjusting the value, hue, or randomize color variability to build visual interest. You can adjust the color for individual tiles or for larger areas across the mosaic. The tile color is determined by the main color selected in the Colors panel.
If you’re creating a mosaic from a clone source, the tiles are based on the clone source colors. For more information, see To create a mosaic from a clone source.
Normally, each tile is given a single color. If you want more options for coloring tiles, render the tiles to a channel. You can then convert the channel to a selection to paint directly on the tiles, apply effects, or fill them with a pattern, weave, gradient, or image. For more information, see Creating 3D tiles.
In a mosaic, any area that is not covered by tiles is considered grout. A default grout color is assigned to the mosaic background when you begin working, but you can change the color.
