How to create a shared colour palette


Recommended Posts

What OS do you use? If MacOS, you can create a a System palette that all three applications can use. However, you can't use Global colors unless you use a Document palette, so if you want Global colors a System palette won't work.

Hi

I am building a brand identity and using all three apps. Is it possible to link/ share a single colour palette across all Affinity docs that use the same swatch palette?

Thanks

Mike

If you need global colours make a Document Palette and export it. You can then import it into any documents you want.

Mac Pro (Late 2013) Mac OS 12.7.2 
Affinity Designer 2.3.1 | Affinity Photo 2.3.1 | Affinity Publisher 2.3.1 | Beta versions as they appear.

I have never mastered color management, period, so I cannot help with that.

Thanks.

I created a document palette but if I make a change to a global colour in one application I don't think it will override the palette in another application or another file within the same application (Publisher for instance). 

Let's say I have 20 brochures and I want to make a global colour change, will I need to manually change the colour on each file?
