1. 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.

   We are excited to announce that this feature is now available in BETA (starting V 29.1.28).

   The new 'Generate color info' helps you share color information with others.

   To use this, just select the colors from the swatch panel and click on 'generate color info' in the menu options.

   You can customise the size, layout, color codes etc.

   PS : Currently we only support CMYK values but other color codes such as RGB, HSB, spot vs process colors are in pipeline and we will ship them shortly.

   Please try out this feature and let us know what you think!

   
   

   Thanks

2. Make Eyedropper tool usable in Color Picker dialog, which can pick colors from everywhere

   Can you make the Color Picker have an Eyedropper tool that can select any color on the screen when you double click the swatch? Similar to Photoshop.

   Also have the default in any way you reach a color picker be hexadecimal so it is easier to copy and paste the color to other programs, etc. It defaults in this section, but I cannot select any color on the board while this is open.

   Latest Beta Build 29.2.34 now adds Eyedropper in the Color Picker dialog to allow us pick colors from artwork.

   Please try to test it and comment on if it works as you expect.

3. Allow adding Patterns and Gradient swatches to Color Groups

   Expanding on the existing request for gradient swatch support in color groups... We need groups that support all swatch types. I understand the purpose of Color Groups but the intuitive way to use these folders is as a generic "Swatch Group", without limitation to swatch type in order that we can organize assets appropriately within a project.

   My suggestion is either to allow gradient and pattern swatches to be added to a Color Groups or add a new super group type that can contain any swatch type and color groups as well.

   Groups would be organized in rows: color, gradients, patterns
   In order that it's easy to discern between types.

   Would be ideal also if these sets:
   - are CC Library compatible
   - can be exported as swatch files

   And where:
   - exported swatch files can be imported as a group (as opposed to a discrete swatch palette)
   - exported swatch files can be dynamically linked (to allow one master swatch file to serve many working files)

   Thanks!

   Latest Beta Build 29.1.0.79 now allows to add gradient and pattern swatches into color groups. Simple as that. I am personally amazed it just works.

   Please try it yourself in the latest Beta and see if it works for you as well. My congratulations, everybody. Vote more!
