As I've been working in Designer recently, it's a bit frustrating when adding a swatch from the Pantone set the default has the name of the next unused global color (e.g. "Global Color 7") instead of the name of the Pantone swatch. It would be great if all swatches, even if global, contained the name of their value so I didn't have to enter them manually (including CMYK and RGB swatches).

Hey got a quick question: Is there a way to create custom swatches especially pattern swatches? -
Guys, Has anyone experienced a crash when using the swatches palette? I have had it occur twice, once when I tried to change the fill of an object and the second time when I tried to change the stroke colour of the same object. I had changed from greys to colour and selected a colour from the palette and nothing happened so upon a second click, the crash occurred. Just tried it again so I could post the screen shot with the error message but, in the mean time I had upgraded to v1.5.0.5 and it doesn't do it anymore. Must have been reported before and now fixed. If that's the case, well done Serif.

Every version of Affinity Designer Beta has had a lot of lag when scrolling through any swatches, though it is still usable. This happens regardless of the file that I am working on, and it has persisted through reisntallations and updates to Affinity Designer Beta. I am currently on the most recent beta (7/7/16). PC specs: CPU: Intel i7 5820k@4.5 Ghz GPU: GTX Geforce 950 RAM: 32 GB DDR4 SSD: Samsung 950 Pro installation drive (where Windows and my applications, including Designer, are installed) HDD: Hitachi Deskstar 7200 RPM storage drive (where the files I am working on are stored) I don't think it is my PC causing the issue.

Great to see that you have a windows version in the making, It means i can use it at work, as our company is mainly PC based. Although i prefer the Mac environment. Anyway... I have noticed on the Win beta version that every time i open the program the Swatch pallette defaults to small even though i have previously changed it to large. This also happens with a saved file. It does not recall my swatch size prefs and reverts to the default small. Win 10 64bit "125% - resolution 3840 x 2160

If the swatches tab is visible with colours, switching documents lags signficantly. -
Hey there. I've been using the Mac version of Affinity Designer for a while and feel pretty comfortable with basic things. One thing I've noticed that's handy is the ability to choose recent colors under the swatches tab. I'm also using the Beta for Windows on my SP3 and so far - on first beta and now the updated beta - my recent colors aren't populating. Is this a bug that needs to be worked out? Or a setting that I need to fix? Just wondering. Thank you!

Update Dropdown What I did was think about components and what parts belong to what. And for this model to be clear from the UI / UX perspective, it means that the other colour options should be separated into their own panels due to their unique attributes. In my experience, I would recommend removing the colour wheel--it adds no functionality that the sliders can't provide and adds a level of complexity to maintain in the long run. I can't keep working for free, so, this is it from me. ----- Previous -----

Hi AD team, love the product - terrific! Here's my problem: I'm switching from adobe illustrator and would like to take the color swatches with me. CS5 even has an export option to export a given swatch to .ase which I could then import in AD. However, the gradient swatches ('Brights') are not exported with the gradient, just as base colors. Can anyone recommend how to move my AI gradient swatches out of AI into AD? Thanks so much! -
Hello everyone :) Since I just really love these colours, I made this palette and I'd like to share it with you. These are the colours of the Touch Twin Markers, from ShinHan Art. I numbered and named the 204 swatches, to keep them sorted as they appear in their Colour Chart, but of course you can sort them as you want. Hope you like them. :) Touch Twin Markers.zip

Currently you can only search swatches when in the main swatches panel. If you try to edit a global colour, and choose swatches from the dropdown, you have to scroll through all the colours and pick it manually by eye/hover. I'd like the search bar to also appear in the secondary swatches panel. Thanks.

I somehow managed to create a new color palette and rename it. Now I want to place my recent colors into it. IDEALLY I wanted to be able to select color swatches I was using and create a palette from those selections. There may be a way to do that. I don't know. However now I'm looking at a screen where my recent colors are there and I am going to assume there's a way to easily place those colors into my new, empty, palette. How is that done? Thank you in advance.

Hello, It is very rare that I feel AD is missing a feature, it is already such a fleshed out and mature creation software. But, recently I've been desiring a way to merge palettes, or import a palette from a document into the current palette. Personally, I use Seiken Densetsu 3 palettes when I do pixel art (they are gorgeous, with beautiful deep purples as blacks etc). I am not colour-blind, but don't have the innate ability to find nice matching colours. Anyhow, when doing this type of work, you end up creating palettes from many images you can find on google. You are then stuck, as I haven't found any way to merge the palettes it creates :/ There are more likely other ways to fix this "issue", that is why I prefer explaining my situation rather than forcing a pre-set solution on you. Anything that would allow creation of 1 palette from many images works for me. Thank you for reading this, and being so active with your community, <3 P.S. Just downloaded beta, will get back to you guys about the crashes I mentioned last weekend :) [Edit] I guess importing all the images and merging them in a document works, [facepalm]. Ok going to sleep now...

Hello, I am trying to figure out how to find the pantone # swatch used within gradients, there seems to be no way to get this kind of feedback anywhere… while you can isolate colors added to an object with a gradient, where is the pantone # info located to find later on once added in? Also noticed when adding a spot color swatch to a gradient, it's very hard to find a specific spot color quickly within the gradient palette without a list view showing the pantone numbers. Thank you- 1 reply

There doesn't seem to be a nice way to manage swatches after you created them in a custom Document Palette, e.g. select multiple swatches and then delete them. Any ideas? -
Is there a way to add swatches from a selected item (multiple colors)? -
Recently used colors has one problem. When selecting a previously used color, adjusting that selection (from the color wheel) completely removes the previous color in Recents. Breaking exploration of ideas. This compounds the Eye Dropper color well queue doubling travel time to ui, as well. So, if I select an object, click a previous used color in Recents, then adjust the color for variance, or testing, the old Recent color swatch completely gets replaced. If I want to adjust another part of a design with the original Recent swatch, I then have to select the Eye Dropper, select the color, go back to the color well, and click on it (/cry). A workaround is to deselect the object after color selection from Recents, then reselect [the object] to create a new Recent color item. Ideally, Recents would record a new square, versus replacing the selected Recent color swatch without having to deselect the object.

As brilliant features tend to extend, I am increasingly worrying about some ordering of menu list items. Right now, they are just added to the end of the list when imported. For instance, the items shown in attached screen prints could benefit from some sorting (at least for me). Something automagically alphabetic would already work better for me, but ideally, I´d just like to drag them where I´d like them to be, so a manual way of doing it would serve me quite well. As an example, if you look at the long list for the pixel brushes for instance, I´d love to be able to drag all DAUB brushes to where I´d like them to be, all together close to the top but below the default ones coming with the product. Not only cosmetic AFAIC, it´s also that I just use some more than others. Thank you for reading!

Just wanted to know if gradient swatches will be added in the future?

Hope AD will provide vector based pattern | swatches. I like my fills sharp and crisp. -
The standard colour patches have disappeared from my swatches palette. The one normally found in the top three lines of the dropdown menu. I have tried a re-installation but this has not cured the problem. Can anyone tell me how to recover these? I am really lost without them. Affinity Photo 1.2.1.267B7 OS X Yosemeite 10.10.3 Thank you David Mac

I have used the Create Palette From Document command to fill my own palette with the allready used colors. Now I played around and added some more colors, but I don't need all of them at last. Is there a way to delete the unused colors of the palette automatically? It should be cause of automatic creation is possible :) Also, I can't edit a saved palette color. I can rename it and delete the fill but I can't change the color. Is this correct or does the beta jokes on me? I think it is important to change an existing color -> which also changes the color of all objects that used this fill. -
I can't manage to rearrange, reorder my swatches in a palette. I mean if I add a color to a palette, it comes in the first position and I can't move it from there (to have brown together, yellow together …) Is there something I missed or is it not possible ? -
In Affinity Designer the swatches palette has a "recent" area that shows recently used colours. The odd thing for me is it will show many different swatches of the same colour. Why is this? This seems confusing and redundant to me. I would think that colours of the same value should only appear once in the "recent" colours. Is this the way it was planned or has something gone awry? I wasn't sure whether to post this in the "Feature Requests" or the "Questions" but because I'm not sure about the reasoning behind the current behaviour I posted it here. -
At the left of the screen in some tools there are a Fill and Stroke box that allow color selectors to be pulled down. In the Swatches portion there are 3 fixed color selections none, black, and white. These do not work for me. In the docked (right) swatches panel there the 3 fixed swatches do work.
