This pages describes features, codes or syntax whose use is now DEPRECATED, i.e. not advised either for new or continued pre-existing use.
Deprecated aspects of Tinderbox may be supported on a legacy basis but the latter support can not be presumed to be indefinite. Therefore you should update your active TBX documents to latest practice as soon as practical.

The note's accent colour (use $AccentColor instead).
Retained for backwards compatibility, $Color2 is deprecated in favour of $AccentColor which fulfils the same role but with a more descriptive name. Both set the same colour.
It is used for the alternate colour of the $Pattern drawn on the (background) $Color of a note in a map view.
It is also used for the accent colour in bar() and vbar() map progress bar patterns, as well as container plots.
The default is 'dark warm gray dark'.
$Color2 can be set via the Appearance Inspector ▸ Interior tab, 'Color' controls.
