Creating styles in ArcGIS Pro is a great way to build cartographic standards within a group or organization. It allows you to save a variety of style classes (such as symbols, colors, and text elements) in one place and then share this file with others. I am going to walk you through a color style I created to show how you can build something like this yourself.<\/p>\n

The Colors:<\/strong><\/h3>\n

I built an ArcGIS Pro style (.stylx file) that captured the colors from the 1821 2nd<\/sup> Edition of Werner\u2019s Nomenclature of Colours<\/em>. This version was adapted by Patrick Syme for use in Zoology, Botany, Chemistry, Mineralogy, Anatomy, and the Arts. This has been widely used by naturalists over the years, including Charles Darwin.

In the catalog view, I set the details for each color item. I named each color after it\u2019s listed name in the book and gave it tags based on Werner\/Syme\u2019s assigned numerical ID. The book categorizes the colors into groups, such as \u2018blues\u2019, \u2018greens\u2019, \u2018purples\u2019, so I used these as the category for each color item.<\/p>\n

After applying these changes, I then clicked on the \u2018properties\u2019 tab at the bottom of the pane to bring up the color properties for the item. To find the Hex # for each color, I needed to use the ArcGIS Pro Eyedropper tool<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Switching back into my map view, I created a polygon map graphic<\/a> that I could use to assign the colors.

When the eyedropper tool is engaged, it has a preview magnifier on the mouse icon. This allowed me to see the color I was selecting. I hovered my mouse over the raster images from the book, and then clicked the color I wanted to capture its values.<\/p>\n
