palettes Named colours color palette to share.

[Phil_rose]

I grabbed a colour chart from the Internet, converted it to vector in CorelDRAW, exported as a WMF, imported into Affinity Designer and from there created this palette. I don't guarantee that all the colours are completely accurate and of course, accuracy in something like this is pretty subjective. Anyway, I hope this is of use to people and enjoy! It may be best viewed as a list in the swatch palette since then you can see the names. I have been including Trainspotting orange in every palette I have created in every program I have used since the film came out! My signature colour!

Added screenshots.

Thanks for sharing. If a screenshot of the palette was included, more people would potentially download it.

No. Global color swatches have a tab in the bottom-left corner.

Here are CorelDRAW colors definitions in CSV and XLSX formats. CSV has to be placed in the PANTONE directory to work.

NOTE: If you use MSIX installers, the colors has to be placed again because they are removed after each update (upgrade).

Interesting. Which Pantone folder is that? Where would I find it? Thanks!

This path is for Designer for MSIX installers:

C:\Program Files\Affinity\Designer 2\Resources\Pantone

Hmm. That folder doesn't exist. V2 is installed elsewhere, I believe. Not sure why you would have that folder.

[Petar Petrenko]

In that case, search for "PANTONE" on your C:\ disk and find the folders where the PANTONE colors have .CSV extensions.

I tried that but there are none that are related to Affinity.

 

 

[Petar Petrenko]

Maybe they are left when I installed .EXE versions of Affinity?

[Phil_rose]

Perhaps so.

[Petar Petrenko]

[Phil_rose]

I guess that's it. I uninstalled the old versions. I guess they're not kept that way any more.

That looks like the path for the EXE (MSI) installer, not MSIX.
