Bobaffinity Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 What is the best way to create a new color palette? I want to create a custom color palette with 110 colors and I don't know how to do it. Can I create a document in AD with 110 small boxes, fill them with the custom colors I create and then drag that into a new custom palette? I need guidance! Thanks in advance for any help.

Staff MEB Posted August 21, 2015 Staff Share Posted August 21, 2015 Hi Bobaffinity In the Swatches panel on the top right menu there's an entry to Create Palette From Document. You can use it to generate a palette from the 110 objects/colors on your document.

Bobaffinity Posted August 21, 2015 Author Share Posted August 21, 2015 Thanks, so much for both suggestions. Can Photoshop gradients be imported also? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evtonic3 Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 Thanks, so much for both suggestions. Can Photoshop gradients be imported also? I don't think so, as they are .grd files and that I know can't be imported. Only .ase files. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In Illustrator, save the palette as .ase and then in AD/AP import palette is what I meant. mikeill 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the Switches panel, the three line "hamburger" menu includes import & export options that will let you do this.

So the .afpallet extension works in both. Thank you! I should have realized that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bludocs Posted June 11, 2019 Share Posted June 11, 2019 Hello, I just bought an ipad pro mainly to use Affinity Designer with the Pencil. This software really pleases me, however I do not see how to adjust the colors using hexadecimal values as it is possible to do on the desktop version. Is there a workaround or planned update? Thank you for your work. Looking forward to your answer. Cordially. Bludocs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
