Preserve Names When Adding Color to Swatches From Library
If you add a color to Swatches from a Library, the name of the color is lost and defaults to the RGB or CMYK values. It would be nice if those names were preserved.

Swatches with custom names were added to Libraries. Now, when adding them to swatches in a new document, they are not retaining their custom names but are reverting to their CMYK values.

It's important to clearly label color palette swatches for hand-off. It's especially important for CMYK production files. At present, a user would need to name the swatch twice. Once in the document swatch library and a second time when the swatch is added to a CC Library. An additional concern is that by default the CC Library saves the color as a HEX value even if the open document is in CMYK color mode.
