Adding color to a picture frame

I am brand new to Macs, and I have been checking out iworks. I am working on a blank page layout. I have added text boxes, and a photo from my gallery. I want to frame the photo, and have figured out how, using the inspector. What I can't figure out how to do is how to add color to the frame. Can anyone help me out?

Mac OS X, Mac OS X (10.6.3)

Hi Farmer Matt

Welcome to the forum. 🙂

fruhulda has shown how to change the color of simple strokes, however there are some frames you can not color change. Only "line" strokes can be changed, pdf files, jpegs, Photoshop and Pages' Picture Frames can not be changed.

Check whether the frame/stroke you have in your file is a graphic or not by selecting it:

+Inspector > Metrics > File Info+

Click on the black rectangle beside the Line button. It will open the Colour palette. Choose your colour.

You can download the Pages User Guide from the Help menu in Pages. It has a lot of info on what you can do.
