Ability to change the default swatches
I'd really like to open up a new document with a predetermined default swatch selection. I know this can be done by saving swatches and saving your workspace but if I want to add new colors, I can't to the saved swatch window.

There are a few swatches that I find myself adding to the default swatch panel almost every time I create a new document. I would love to be able to have them permanently added to the drop down swatch panel that appears at the top left of the screen.
Yes, I know we have 'Libraries' and I could import them. Every. Time. But there's a perfectly good swatch panel that could do the job without having to load from the cloud. Also, there are so many patterns and gradients in the default panel that I've never used even once and would like to be able to remove.
I've managed to change the 'Print' default swatches by changing permissions and overriding the original, but it hasn't effected the default swatches.

the first thing I do with every **** document I create is delete all those prefab swatches and load up my own. I hate that interminable list of prefab swatches *SO MUCH*.
With my workflow, I use swatches to LIMIT my color palette. Starting every document with every single color known to humanity (and a handful of prefab textures I will literally never use) is anti-productive.
Help a fella out here!!

Give users the ability to customize the default swatch library that is automatically added to every new file. The current selection of default swatches can't be changed, and the user should have control over this.

Yes, this is great idea! I wish the swatches panel stayed the same when I open a new file. Its a big deal when you have to work with tens or hundreds of files.

Keep my User defined color swatch settings and not the default selection.
Either move the User Defined swatches option to a faster/accessible place in the Swatches panel, and/or allow the Swatches Panel to keep the previous setup. (It is getting tediously annoying to have to go through the drop-down lists in order to re-select my custom swatch panel and re-insert it in the main Swatch panel, since I do not want multiple swatch panels open.)
