You can also

Specify how the fill spreads based on the color similarity of adjacent pixels	Type a value in the Tolerance box on the property bar. A value of 100 fills the entire object or area.
Change the way colors are combined	Choose a merge mode from the Merge mode list box on the property bar.

You can choose the colors for a uniform fill from an image, or by accessing color models, mixers, or fixed or custom palettes. For information about choosing colors, see Color.

Merge modes control the way the foreground or fill color blends with the base color of the image. You can change the merge mode setting from the default (Normal) for specific blending purposes. For more information about merge modes, see Merge modes.

You can also select a fill color by right-clicking a color on the color palette.
