# paletteSelectionEffect(_:)

```

## Parameters

- `effect`: The type of effect to apply when a palette item is selected.

## Discussion

Discussion automatic applies the system’s default appearance when selected. When using un-tinted SF Symbols or template images, the current tint color is applied to the selected items’ image. If the provided SF Symbols have custom tints, a stroke is drawn around selected items. If you wish to provide a specific image (or SF Symbol) to indicate selection, use custom to forgo the system’s default selection appearance allowing the provided image to solely indicate selection instead. The following example creates a palette picker that disables the system selection behavior: Menu {     Picker("Palettes", selection: $selection) {         ForEach(palettes) { palette in             Label(palette.title, image: selection == palette ?                   "selected-palette" : "palette")             .tint(palette.tint)             .tag(palette)         }     }     .pickerStyle(.palette)     .paletteSelectionEffect(.custom) } label: {     ... } If a specific SF Symbol variant is preferable instead, use symbolVariant(_:). Menu {     ControlGroup {         ForEach(ColorTags.allCases) { colorTag in             Toggle(isOn: $selectedColorTags[colorTag]) {                 Label(colorTag.name, systemImage: "circle")             }             .tint(colorTag.color)         }     }     .controlGroupStyle(.palette)     .paletteSelectionEffect(.symbolVariant(.fill)) }
