Swatches - revert to defaults


Recommended Posts

I was busy creating swatches from a colour palette in a style guide and realised as I finished that I'd added them to the "greys". It's not the end of the world, and I've since added the colours to their own palette... but I would quite like to be able to get back to the default for Greys (I've now put the newly created set in its own area). I can't find any "restore defaults" option or any way of deleting a swatch from a palette. Does anyone know?

I think this will do it, but if it works it will reset all your swatches to the content they had when you first installed (including deleting any swatches that you have added):

To simply delete an individual swatch from a pallette, right-click on it and choose Delete Fill:

Great - thanks. 🙂 I'd already exported my custom palettes (the correct ones) to import onto my laptop ready for when working away from home, so I should be OK. I'd rather have to recreate the dozen or so colours I may be missing than have to live with the mess I've currently got (I tried creating a palette from the document, and ended up with a lot of duplicates... or so they seem to the naked eye, anyway). I'd looked in Preferences and Colours... didn't think of Miscellaneous.
