benrymnd Posted July 17, 2020 Share Posted July 17, 2020 Is there a way to save colours that are picked using the colour picker tool ie open a new project and use the colours from previous project. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thomaso Posted July 17, 2020 Share Posted July 17, 2020 Since it is not possible to copy/paste objects with their color swatches you need to create a palette first. If you create an application palette then the swatches can't be global but will be available in any new document. For global swatches you need to create a document palette with global swatches. To use this in a new document you first export it from the document where they were created and import the palette into the new document. Import it as document palette to make use of their global property, otherwise you get the color swatches but as non-gobal only.

walt.farrell Posted July 17, 2020 Share Posted July 17, 2020 If you have a common set of colors you frequently use, you can also create a Template document, and create the Document Palette in the Template. Export the Template, and then when you're creating a new document you can select the Template in the new document dialog instead of selecting a Preset.
