# Colors

Starting with Tacview 1.8.8, colors may be customized and new colors may be added, as follows:

Locate the `XML` file

`C:\Program Files (x86)\Tacview\Data\Xml\Data-ObjectsColors.xml`

and copy it to the folder

`%PROGRAMDATA%\ProgramData\Tacview\Data\Xml\`

Open the file and edit or add colors as desired.

Re-launch Tacview and edit the color of the object by right-clicking on the object and going to `Edit Object` → `Color`

![Edit Object Color](/files/I5qRVkidUP0R7tSffQBM)

![Object Color Edited](/files/mHRZsSWdNlH0OvSw0oeY)

Or use the new color in your [ACMI files](https://github.com/RaiaSoftwareInc/tacview.documentation/blob/main/technical-documentation/acmi-public-file-format.md)
