Hey! Is there an easy way to synchronize color palettes so that I have the same colors swatches in all three apps (Windows Version)? Would be helpful as I work a lot with my own collections of colors and sometimes adjust them in one app but have to remember to do it in the other apps too... Thanks for the help. Chris

One little thing that might enhance usability would be to add some indicator with every colour swatch to show what kind of colour it is (CMYK, RGB, Greyscale, Spot). This could be a small symbol like in the Adobe products, or a letter or short word. It should be visible in the list view, there's enough space for something like that. In the compact view I don't see a way to add this info, except for the tooltip. Also, I would love to be able to see the (current) numeric values of swatches more easily. A swatch should show these after their name, maybe in parentheses, or italics: "Logo Red (CMYK 0-80-40-10)" or "Logo Red CMYK 0-80-40-10". If the swatch doesn't have a name, the current values could be shown on their own. Showing the numeric values does of course solve the issue of not knowing if a swatch is RGB or CMYK, so that no other indicator would be needed. A related issue is #77313 Color Numeric Value in Swatches, but if I understand that correctly, it deals with the CMYK/RGB approximations of Library Spot colours.

I created a custom system color pallete. In the table color pickers (text, border and fill) when I go to the pallete list the custom one appears repeated multiple times (but multiple by a lot). In the normal color pallete works well, it happens only in the table color pickers. Procedure: Create a new system color pallete - create a table - choose the custom pallete from the table context menu color pickers

I just switched to Affinity from Illustrator, and am very happy. However, I'm not seeing the palette options I would like coming from Illustrator. In Illustrator, I used to be able to pick a color and then see a auto generated palette of different tints / shades of that color. Is there anything like this in Affinity?
