Joachim_L Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 Me thinks, that I read (or even posted) this somewhere?!? It is not possible to delete the default palettes Greys, Colours and Gradients in 1.9.0.798. In the current betas of AP and AD it is possible. IMHO having these default palettes is a bad idea. Who needs a colour palette full of HSL colours? Or best proof from a forum post lately: A user created a CMYK document, picked Black from the Greys palette and was desperate, that he/she/it got a rich black instead of 100% K. Best would be (my opinion) to show default palettes depending on the colour format. Say Red, Green, Blue for RGB or Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, Black, Registration, White for CMYK. And I would like to load spot palettes when I need them, not having them as default.

The user picked the wrong Black swatch. They needed to use the one to the right of the palette name. Those 3 (black, mid-gray, white) are CMYK when in a CMYK document, and the black is true black (0/0/0/100) in that case. It is odd that the Grays swatches are RGB swatches when one is in a CMYK document. That should be fixed, and yes, the default palettes should depend on the document color mode.

Joachim_L Posted October 20, 2020 Author Share Posted October 20, 2020 This is spooky. I tried to delete the palettes and tried and tried ... with no success. Until now. All of a sudden I was able to delete the palettes and I had no restart and tried it like I tried before!

And have that default palette act as the document palette in a new document. Super irritating to create a new color swatch and, if I haven't taken the step of creating a document palette, it just lands in the the "Greys" palette since that's the first of the defaults listed.

Carlos NZ Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 That is a major flaw in affinity designer, the color palette needs to be fixed. Professional designers need a more reliable color palette, the color palette mode must to match the color space. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
