If an object from one document has a linked global color and we copy that object and then paste it into another document the global color should also come with it (or have the option to do so) and be added in the other document's swatches -
[AD 1.7.0.367] Add Global Color dialog color picker only works in RGB
LCamachoDesign posted a topic in Designer Bugs found on Windows
The color picker found in the Add Global Color dialog dialog only picks colours in RGB, independently of the document color space. Steps to reproduce: Create a new CMYK document Create a new object on the page, for example a rectangle with C:0 M:0 Y:0 K:20 Open the Swatches panel From the Swatches panel flyout menu, chose Add Global Color Use the color picker found next to the drop down menu to pick the color from the rectangle Notice the color value is expressed in RGB rather than CMYK Thanks! -
[AD 1.7.0.367] Copied/duplicated Global Color have the same name
LCamachoDesign posted a topic in Designer Bugs found on Windows
If you make a copy of a global color the new color will have the exact same name as the original. This causes all sorts of problems since no two swatches should have the same name. Steps to reproduce: Create a new global color in the Swatches panel, notice the name Right click it and choose Make Copy Check the name of the new global color, it's the exact same as the original Strangely, this does not happen to regular colors. If you make a copy of a regular color the app will always change the copy's name. Thanks! -
Hi there! Quick question. I started making global Pantone colors for my doc. I marked only two of four colors as spot colors. When I select "edit global color" to switch them to spot colors, the option isn't in the little dialogue box that pops up. Is there somewhere else in the program that I can edit that option? Thanks in advance for any help with this! Stephen:)

The ability to group global colors into schemes by saving the state of the entire group. Individual global color could be changed and save the new group state as a new scheme. This would allow having multiple color schemes for a group and change the look of the entire document merely by switching color schemes.

Swatches Panel Freezes After Adding Global Color
serpenteagle posted a topic in (Pre 1.7) Bugs on Mac
The swatches panel freezes and becomes unresponsive when adding a new global color from a new document. The issue is resolved after quitting and restarting the application. Let me know if you need any more info to replicate and fix this issue. Thanks. -
Global Color names import/export palettes
pixelbaron posted a topic in Affinity on Desktop Questions (Mac and Windows)
Hi, I could not find if this was covered yet here on the forums. I just exported a color palette in Designer (to iCloud drive) with many global colors that had custom names assigned (RAL palette). When I imported the palette as document palette back into another project the custom names on the global colors were all gone and reverted back to their default names. The standard colors and gradients all kept their names, just the global color names were gone. Please advise. Cheers, Marc -

global color icon missing
AlicenWonderland posted a topic in Affinity on Desktop Questions (Mac and Windows)
I do not know where my global color icon went. I thought it came default with two palettes. 1.add current fill to palette icon and 2. the global color icon. Do I have to create a special Document palette in or Der for the global color icon to appear. I thought it was there regardless so one could use it to make a fill a global color at any time. -
[ADe] Snapshots feature does not restore global color
LCamachoDesign posted a topic in (Pre 1.7) Bugs on Windows
Create a global color, red for example, and apply it to an object Create a snapshot Edit the global color to something else, green for example, and the object will change to green as expected Restore the snapshot created in point 2 Object will revert to red as expect, but the global colour itself remains green If global color is edited at this point to brown for example the object does change to that color, indicating that at least the color link is still working This probably also happens in Affinity Photo, but my use of global colours there is limited. Thanks! -
global colors (swatches) used in layer fx will be converted to static colors
Schubi63 posted a topic in (Pre 1.7) Bugs on Mac
Hi, I just noticed the following: I have several objects composited in a layer ... and I if I use my swatches in a layer fx (color overlay) to tint all objects at the same time I can choose my desired color swatch and it works fine. BUT if I change the color value of that swatch (double click on the swatch in the swatches panel) it does not influence the color used in the layer fx. If I check the color used on the layer fx, it still has the "old" values. I hope this will be fixed soon, Stefan. -
[Fixed] Add global color from text object
Mensch Mesch posted a topic in (Pre 1.7) MacOS resolved threads
Hi! When I try to define a global color from the fill of a text object AD just creates a new document palette but not the color itself. If I then click on the symbol next to the palette combobox it works. A subscriber on my Youtube channel has the same problem with AD for Windows. -
My West wall layer has a black stroke and no fill. The color panel makes it look like it is set with a Global color, which it's not. Layers in the Windows' group are using the green global color. But not any in this group. How do I get my normal color panel back with the wheel or sliders visible? When I change layers the panel remains the same with the global color showing. Ah I have to click on the stoke color symbol, then it pops to the proper screen. This looks like a bug so I guess i'll move it from Questions to Bugs before I post.
