None
Choose the None option, and there is no color transform.

Fade to alpha
Set the transparency of an element at a specified percentage by dragging the button or inputting the value directly.

Fade to color
The option is to dye the original color with the other color. The dye color can be set in percentage from transparent (0%) to completely saturated (100%).
Click the down arrow on the Color box to select the dye color, or click the palette button to open Advanced color box to set the color in RGB and HSV modes or to input the HTML code of color. And click the slider beside it to set its percentage from 0% to 100%. For example, if you set the percentage to "40%", the dye color takes up 40% in a newly-made color while the original color will take up 60%. If you want change the original color to be another color totally, just to set the percentage of the new color to 100%.

Advanced
The Advanced option is to adjust the Red, Green, Blue and Alpha values of an element separately. The controls on the left let you adjust the color or Alpha values at a specified percentage and the controls on the right allow you to adjust the color or Alpha values by a constant value.

Thus, the current Red, Green, Blue, and Alpha values are multiplied by the percentage values, and added to the constant values on the right, producing the new color values. For example, if the current red value is 255, to set the left slider to 40% and the right slider to 100 will produce a new red value of 202, that is, 255x40%+100=202.
