# Instruction Animation Color

> The color of the ghost that shows you where to move an object or how to rotate it.

On move and rotate steps, a see-through **ghost** copy of the object shows you the motion: where to move the object, or which way to turn it. A Training can change the color of this ghost, for example so it stands out against the scene.

The ghost is **cyan** by default.

## When You See the Ghost

* **Move steps:** the ghost moves from the object to the place where it should go. Not every move step shows it. It depends on how the step is set up.
* **Rotate steps:** the ghost shows which way to turn the object. It appears on every rotate step in Practice mode.
* **Tap steps** don't use a ghost.

The ghost is hidden in [Assessment mode](/creator-studio/trainee-client/assessment-mode).

<Note>
  Instruction Animation Color doesn't change the green glow on the place where a moved object should go. See [Highlighting](/creator-studio/trainee-client/highlighting).
</Note>

## How Long the Color Lasts

Once the Training changes the color, the ghost keeps it on every later step, until the Training sets it back to cyan.

* If you go **Back**, use [Reset Step](/creator-studio/trainee-client/reset-step), use **Restart Training** or resume the Training, the ghost uses the color the Training has set at that point.
* When you close the Training, the color goes back to cyan.
