Using the Settings you defined in options (L & R swap or not) you can switch screens and use the stylus to pick a color or use the slider bars, once you have your color picked, you can add it to a custom pallet set by tap the desired sqaure on the slider screen. Once you go back, you will find your colors in the pallet bar to the bottom left. You can tap the color you want from there.

Stamps
