Hi im designing an alpha bracelet but it says my colors are too similar and I should use a=d, b=d, c=d, a=c, b=c, a=b
I have no clue what that means and where I’m supposed to use that😂How do I get rid of the colors that are very similar?

I have had this happen too when taking a picture to alpha. What you need to do let's say if your having trouble making the background all white. Choose another color (the color doesn't matter we'll be getting rid of it later) for example purple and use the fill tool to find all the spots that aren't one color and make it all purple then use the fill tool to change the purple to the color you want and you can do this again inside the pattern to find all the colors that are too close. Hope this helps and wasn't to confusing.

The way I am understanding the question is you are receiving a warning that your colours are too similar?
So "a=d" means that your first colour is too similar too your fourth colour, and so on with the sequence you said. Just think of each box with the colours you have as "A B C D" etc, and it'll make it easier when that warning pops up.
To change that, you just have to play around with the built in colour chart and either choose a lighter or darker shade of the colour, or a different colour entirely. (Depending on what it is you are making of course). Keep Saving and Testing to see if the warning disappears as you are changing colours, it should help to keep you on track.

Idk how many colours you use in total and if you want the colours a, b, c and d to all be the same or not.

To make them different you click on the box with the colour and change it. You can make it more or less saturated, add more or less black or change the hue of the colour.

If your issue is that you want these colours to be the same there's an easier way to go about it than what the first person said. You need to be on the first page titled "alpha". Change all colours to the same colour code and click save. Then go to "draw alpha" and click "save". Go back to "alpha" and the individual letters will have turned into just one letter.
