evtonic3 Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 How do I add the latest swatches into Designer from the Pantone website? I can add them to illustrator but Designer does not allow importing color books, only .ase files. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Dan C Posted October 7, 2019 Staff Share Posted October 7, 2019 Hi evtonic3 Are you downloading the swatches from Pantone Colour Manager - or from elsewhere? I've tried to find downloadable libraries from Pantone and I can only see this available through the aforementioned application. There are some workarounds offered here, although a few require access to Adobe Illustrator - Quote Please note - I am currently out of the office for a short while whilst recovering from surgery (nothing serious!), therefore will not be available on the Forums during this time. Should you require a response from the team in a thread I have previously replied in - please Create a New Thread and our team will be sure to reply as soon as possible. Many thanks!

evtonic3 Posted October 7, 2019 Author Share Posted October 7, 2019 It’s from the Pantone color manager. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Patrick Connor Posted October 8, 2019 Staff Share Posted October 8, 2019 We have to add the Pantone® colours to the installer (and technically have our implementation re-approved by Pantone® ). I understand these new colours will be in beta builds soon and therefore released in due course. (I expect once they are in the beta you can manually move them to your 1.7.3 release location (shhhh) not tried it though) Dan C and evtonic3 1 1 Quote Patrick Connor Serif Europe Ltd Latest V2 releases on each platform Help make our apps better by joining our beta program!

We work with the Pantone Library for Fashion and home and I can't get the swatches in Affinity. I found a .csv file with the colours on the forum but I can't find the folder to place the .csv either (on Mac) Any help would be highly appreciated!

Unfortunately we are under license from Pantone not to allow the files to be edited or reverse engineered. Pantone are very very strict on this. The colours we are licensed to include are for Print (in sRGB) and the Pantone fashion library are likely not, but you can create your own palette for your own use through the normal means. Even if you did find a way to edit the official Pantone files that we distribute, we could not support the software once edited, and binary updates may fail as a consequence. I am sorry we do not have anything more concrete as I can see how this would be useful to you.
