Color count and other questions

[CP16]

In Designer, is there a way to get a color count and list of unique colors? For example, if I apply some transparency for a marbled effect?

Is there a quick way to get all the colors in a defined gradient? Right now I click on each one and add it to a palette. Looking for a shortcut.

Thanks!

I don't know if such a feature exists in Designer (iPad or Desktop)

As a limited workaround if you have access to a Desktop version, you can generate a palette with all colors from the current document

As i use iPad only during holiday period i cannot check if this includes colors used in gradients. Unfortunately it seems the “generate” feature is missing on iPad (couldn’t not spot it within UI or help)

Unfortunately there's no built in tool for this in Affinity on iPad currently, my apologies.

This method is what I would suggest to get the exact colours in the gradient - a slightly quicker method could be colour picking the gradient and then adding the current fill to a palette, however this will likely be a slightly different colour than that which was defined, as it will have been blended in the gradient itself.
