On Windows, when I restart Designer it starts with the last Swatches palette I was using when I shut it down.

That's still wrong, I think, because I can tell Designer to set the Colors palette as the default palette (using the burger menu), and it ignores that and still restarts with the last palette I had showing.

Hi ashf,
Currently this is working as intended/designed - the (currently) selected palette is not saved with the document so when you open it again it reverts back to Greys. There's already an improvement request to change this but there wasn't progress yet. The dev team did indicated at the time that it would take some time until these changes could be implemented no i'm not surprised it's still working the same way. I have bumped the report/improvement request anyway.

But if we have told the application to set the Colors palette as the default, shouldn't that be what it defaults to?

Hi walt,
I was replying to ash's opening post, which was about the last selected palette not sticking between sessions (nothing to do with setting a specific palette as a default for certain document types which is a different issue).

OK. Thanks. I hope it's an issue that is logged for fixing :)

Default palette will be listed in the menu but it won't be selected.
And it seems that this is their intention.

But Windows version does remember like Walt said.
It's not good that it's inconsistent between Mac and Windows.

I checked behavior of other software.
Adobe CC : remember
Serif Plus series : don't remember

Whichever way you go, please make it consistent.

Not quite. It remembers the last one I was using when I closed Designer. It does not use the one I set as Default. As far as I can tell, setting a palette as the Default (for some color format) has no effect at all.

I know, as I mentioned above, Windows version remember the last selected palette.
But  the default palette won't be selected automatically on both Mac and Windows.

Hi ash, walt,
Sorry for the confusion. I should have been more clear. There's a few different issues going on:
1.  Last selected palette not sticking between sessions (after you close and reopen the app or close all documents leaving the app running, the palette defaults to greys) - affects macOS only
2. Set default palette for document types doesn't select the palette saved as default (the palette is created but not selected by default) - affects both Windows and macOS
3. Custom document palettes saved with the document also revert to Greys when the document is 
opened again - affects both Windows and macOS

All these issues are logged. Thanks for your support/reports.

@walt.farrel - You were right, i misunderstood ash's post. He was not referring to the issue between work sessions but the one you were referring (point 2). My apologies.

Thanks, @MEB. And no worries about the confusion; the products are complex and issues can be hard to understand in full detail. :)
