Please add Illustrator option to maintain text color
Could you please add an option for us to keep the color we chose for the text in an illustrator file we're currently working on?
Meaning: Say I am writing text in a file, but I want separate text boxes and I want to keep the same color, rather than Illustrator defaulting back to black or whatever color was set as default in the preferences.
I'd like to be able to check a box to keep the color I am using for the text rather than having to go back to the color and subsequently the default sizes set…

Please update to allow newer Pantone swatches to be usable.
For years Pantone's new colors have been released, yet I can't upload those books into Illustrator. So for years I've been able to see colors I can't use. Super frustrating. I use the Coated Color Bridge book in spot and cmyk. If I'm doing something wrong, PLEASE enlighten me!
80 votesAs stated in the article linked below, Pantone’s licensing with Adobe got changed.
Due to this change, customers will need to purchase Pantone Connect licenses to access Pantone colors in Adobe Creative Cloud products.

Alas, this is the world today.

Add CSS color styling option to OpenType-SVG specification, so font colors may be altered in Illustrator
Currently, OpenType-SVG color fonts come with pre-defined colors.
To provide glyphs in different shades, additional stylistic sets need to be added to the font, bloating it tremendously.
I propose to add the ability to OpenType-SVG to have certain colors of a glyph being overwritten by the application (e.g. Illustrator), so text colors can be applied to a range of glyphs just like it's done with standard monochrome glyphs.
To do so, OpenType-SVG should be able to export a set of color reference names, referenced within the glyph's SVG. An application may then assign alternate colors to…

Drag color swatch onto artboard to make a square with the fill color.
It would be nice for creating style sheets to be able to drag a swatch onto the artboard and have it just make a square of that color.

Default Swatches and Styles as part of New Document Dialog
The first thing I do every time I create a new document is delete all those default swatches and add my own. And those pattern swatches (e.g., "Jive," "Golden Ring," "Alyssa"), I am literally never going to use those.
And those quirky Graphic styles ("Jive_GS" etc). I am literally never going to use those either.
Ideally, I'd like to load up a document with its swatches, paragraph styles, graphic styles etc as part of the "new document" dialog. I can choose artboard size, bleed, margins, all kinds of things.
How about if I could pick swatch groups, paragraph styles,…

Document Color Mode - add option of Grayscale
I need to make a lot of documents that must print in one color. I truly wish Illustrator offered a Document Color Mode of Grayscale - that mode would prevent use of color in any object created in ai, and would convert anything Placed, imported, or otherwise part of the document as Grayscale. It would also be good to have an "Open As" Grayscale option...

Change colormode of swatchcolors with spotColorKind
Hello Adobe,
I want to change the colormode of a swatch with javascript.
I do not want to change the document mode but I want to change specific swatches in my swatch library.Now some of my swatches/colors are RGB spotcolors. I want to change them into CMYK spotcolor.
This is almost impossible now because spotColorKind is now read only :(
Now I have to:
- create new swatches with exactly the same colors and with different name
- attach new color to my pathitems
- delete old swatches…2 votes -
Reinstate The Functionality Of The Swatches Panel In CS 5.5
I’d like to see the functionality of the Swatch panel that was in (Windows) Ai CS 5.5 reinstated. Specifically, when the panel was opened, I used to be able to toggle through the Color Modes by holding Shift and clicking on the color square (thumbnail). If I held Cntrl, it would toggle to the color compliment. These were two great features that were eliminated with CS 6 through to the current version of CC 2017. Bring these back!!

Select Same Fill Color & Stroke Color
'Select Same Fill & Stroke' command from Select > Same menu also includes stroke weight. But sometimes we need to ignore it and search only by colors.
So basically we have no 'Select Same Fill Color & Stroke Color' command...
....no wait. We do have this command!
It is just well hidden.For some reason it is available only as an option in the dropdown menu for the Select Similar Objects button — but not in the menu. Please make these two sources match and combine both lists.

Photoshop Color adjustment
It would be great to have the same color adjustments than Photoshop (curve, hue&saturation, level etc...)

Gradient Swatch includes angle and position, please!
Currently a Gradient swatch only includes color and transparency. PLEASE build Illustrator so Gradient Swatches include angle and position!
It's a pain to have to adjust the gradient angle, after a Gradient Swatch attribute has been applied to an object. If the angle were editable and save-able (in the swatch) it would be wonderful!

Switching to gradient should use as starting gradient color the original solid color
Switching to solid color to gradient, by default gradient should use as starting color the original solid color.
Since imho mostly people uses solid as starting point, then converts to gradient.

Add a swatch from a color inside a gradient in Adobe Illustrator
When you are working in a gradient, you may customize your colors inside. However, there's no way to add this new color as a swatch - or even to be given a HEX code. Let's make this more functional!

Let the Recolor / Generative Recolor work in the Swatches Palette
Please let those tools works on Groups of Swatches too.
This comes in handy to make sets of colours with e.g. the same Hue, but a different Saturation.1 vote -
Save 'Find and Replace' searches
Have an option to save input searches in the Find and Replace box. Then make it possible to load those searches when needed.
This would prevent entering the same searches day in and day out.

Find and Replace text panel not closing after every replacement
When you need to replace multiple text in illustrator right now you need to copy the text go to Edit - Find and replace, paste your text, replace it, and then click done which results to closing the window.
So you must reopen the window every time for the next replacement.
You can have this option as it is in InDesign where you can copy and paste text while the window is open and the window stays open after you done replacing. Also it will be more convenient to be able to add the panel at the dock.

Effect dialogs need sliders
Illustrator's stylized filters need a more practical and dynamic UI.
Currently, stylized effects such as Drop Shadow, Feather, Inner and Outer Glow have an outdated UI and are not dynamic.
I remember that Gaussian Blur was not in the past either, but Gaussian Blur was updated years ago and these stylized filters were not.
I believe that these stylized filters deserve a more practical, faster and dynamic way of being adjusted, and I took the liberty of creating a UI suggestion inspired by the current Gaussian Blur UI.
What do you think, would it be possible?
