# Using Sip
The **Menu Bar** is the quickest access point for Sip. The icon on the left opens the **Picker**, while the arrow on the right opens Sip's main menu.
## Menu Bar Icon
In **Preferences**, you can customize the Menu Bar Icon:
* Choose a **condensed** version (just the Sip logo).
* Decide whether the icon should fill with the last picked color for instant visual feedback.
## Sip Menu
The Sip menu is your everyday workspace. It includes:
* The **Toolbar** for key actions.
* The **Palettes List** to manage your colors.
* The **Bottom Bar** for essential controls.
## Toolbar
The **Toolbar** includes:
* **Picker** for selecting one or multiple colors.
* **Contrast Checker** for reviewing color contrast.
* **New Palette** for creating a palette.
* **Color Panel** for generating or adjusting colors.
## Palettes List
The **Palettes List** groups your colors into palettes. Select a palette to open and manage its colors, then use the back button to return to the list.
## Color History
* The top Palette is **Color History**, which stores all the colors you pick.
* You **can’t delete**, **rename**, or **reorder** the Color History Palette, but you can clear its contents.
* New colors are added in the order they were picked.
## Color Palette
Color Palettes help you organize colors into meaningful groups. There’s no limit to how many colors a Palette can hold, but you can’t have duplicates in the same Palette.
When a Palette is selected, new colors you pick are added to both **Color History** and the selected Palette. A checkmark identifies the selected Palette.
### Palette Actions
Click the three-dot button (**•••**) to open the actions menu. Depending on the palette and current selection, actions include:
* Clean History
* Edit Palette
* Duplicate
* Export
* Delete
* Add to Color Dock or Remove from Color Dock
* Lock Palette or Unlock Palette
* Delete Duplicated Colors
* Merge selected palettes
* Ungroup grouped colors
You can also:
* Reorder Palettes by dragging vertically.
* Hold ⌥ while dragging to duplicate a Palette.
## Organizing Colors
Drag and drop colors within a Palette to rearrange them, or drag colors between palettes to move them. To copy a color instead of moving it, hold ⌥ while dragging.
Normal drag moves colors. ⌥-drag copies colors and leaves the original color where it was.
## Bottom Bar
The Bottom Bar gives you quick access to:
* Preferences
* Color Blindness Settings
* Main Window
* Quit Sip
