Copy paste global colour to other document

[Iztok]

I made object with global colour to set it in other document because I need same global colour, but  when copy paste to other documenmt, colour didn't appear in next document as global colour or any other colour, so how to copy paste global colour to another documenmt?

[Iztok]

Also can't set RGB values in colour pallete to see as CMYK values

You can create swatches and export / import them as document palette.

Unfortunately, unlike Adobe apps Affinity apps don't provide colour value updates. However, this has been requested many times in the forums because in its current form, as soon as you edit the values for any colour, the default RGB, CMYK, HSL, LAB or Greyscales values shown for the colour's label becomes meaningless...

Also I create new document, from where this colours appear? Why is remembered from some old doc+uments it is stupid, if we comapre InDesign logic of colours and Affinity, Affinity is realy messy abouth colours

That's because you've created Application Palettes which means they will be available to all new documents you create in the same App. If you have 'Link new content categories' enabled in the General Settings, indicated by the chain icon to the left of the palette name those palettes will appear across all three apps automatically.

This then allows you to switch between apps and have the same colour palettes available...

If you only want a colour palette to be available to a single document then create a Document palette rather than an Application or System palette and if you only want the palette to be available to the Affinity app you create it in but not the other Affinity apps uncheck 'Link new content categories' in the General Settings...

Thanks for your report @Iztok!

This has been previously raised in the following thread:

As shown, after pasting your Global Colour object in a new document, you will need to create a Document Palette, then use the "Add Current Colour as Global Colour" button in the Swatches panel to make this a Global Colour Swatch in the new file.

This is logged with our development team as a bug, so I'll be sure to 'bump' this for you now.

I hope this helps
