Drag-and-Drop Swatches to Artboard
This functionality wouldn't change the swatches palette it, but would allow users to drag a swatch to the artboard and drop it. You could tile several to create a tonal family or brand color set.
Being able to scale them larger, arrange them, reformat the grid, turn the white gap off in between colors would improve color adjustment and comparing hues side by side. They'd function like the existing swatches panel in that you could have a shape or stroke selected and apply the color by clicking the swatch on the artboard.
This would help in color exploration and creating effective color themes. Save common color usage in your workspace set up, export out as a group, share via Libraries, copy and paste artboard swatches to another file etc.
There seem to be different ways people tackle the problem for color exploration. We want your opinion on the following two approaches -
1. Selected Swatches to show up in a panel view (like swatches).
2. Selected Swatches to show up as rectangular objects on the canvas (in a separate layer). Users can use eyedropper to pick up colors (ability to pick Fill, Stroke, Appearance in such cases).
Users can select size, spacing etc between the color palettes in both these approaches.

I think this would be extremely valuable. Would make color scheme comparison that much easier!!

A nice touch. So its a scalable "Break Out Box" that stays dynamic and functional right?
