Remove all references to websafe palette
The websafe colour palette has not been relevant for over two decades. You might as well support Macintosh bitmap fots if you’re going to include support for the websafe palette.

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 Default Swatches from Swatches Palette
This is a struggle ever since. In the latest release, when creating an RGB document, I get tons of CMYK Swatches in the swatches palette. Why?
Please make it easy to save Default Swatches for each color mode, preferably from within the Swatches Palette.
Please don't suggest saving a Template, since that does not work due to privilege settings.

"Notes" text field on the "Swatch Options" dialogue
It would be a huge help to have a "notes" text field on the "Swatch Options" dialogue so we could include notes and other meta data about a given swatch to convey to other designers or collaborators.

Separate the Icons for stroke and fill.
Why does the adobe illustrator swatch palette overlap the stroke and fill? Why would they not separate this so we dont have to pick so carefully to access the color we want? What is the point of this? Is there some option to change the appearance of the swatch palette? I find this cumbersome and unnecessary.

Color differents problem
I have a problem with big color's preference difference between my AI monitor and real color on my and other machines. It's also concerning all the colors.
I choose the red color and I get the brick color otherwise. Really in image and PDF file, I see the red color indeed.
It's very serious problem for me, because I cann't know what the color I use to.1 vote -
Eye dropper tool not functioning on IPad 3.0.2
Eye dropper tool is not working on iPad 3.0.2 (the latest version.)
Selecting a colour on an art board or photo with the eyedropper does not produce a matching colour, it only removes the existing colour of an object. Please could you let me know if this is a bug, or how to workaround this issue?1 vote -
Please make New Swatch available all the time
Sometimes, I have a complex selection of unpainted paths, and then I need to create a color swatch to apply. But unfortunately 'New Swatch' is greyed out. Why? Why isn't it always available?

Apply colour mode to different artboards
It would be great to have a feature where we can change colour modes for different artboards. This is extremely helpful in today's digital world, where we are working on Brand Identity design that involves the use of logo and colour palette extensively in print and digital media. This will help keep one master file for an extensive brand identity work and makes it easy to compare between CMYK and RGB colours/designs.

CMYK Support for svgs - make use from the device-CMYK attribute
When opening an .svg File that got several device-cmyk Params set, i would love to choose (e.g. by popup) which colors i would like to use for the svg - the rgb colors set as a fill or the device-cmyk colors. It would make svgs printable
e.g. <circle fill="#CD853F device-cmyk(0.11, 0.48, 0.83, 0.00)"/>

In the new swatch creation panel, it would be perfect to already be able to check the overprint option for fills or outlines

The Ability to Compound by Color
Take an object or line of text that has been converted to outlines, put an offset path on it, make that new outline a different color than the original object. Now the requested feature would be the ability to drag select the entire object and offset path, then select "Compound By Color" and it will make all colors selected into their own compound path.

Seamless pattern creation
Once you have an illustration completed, you can double, triple, etc, the image you created as they automatically line up in columns once you decide to double (for a seamless pattern) the illustration, image, or 3D assets. Once you start to manually place the duplicated layer you pull the asset to one side of the art board. You want the pattern to have 1/4th of the image going off the art board. The 1/4th section that is going off of the art board (.let’s say on the right side for this example) automatically (almost magically) has the missing section hanging…

Colors: bring existing color to front
I ran into this so many times: I want to change an element with a colored fill, go to the color palette hit the new color and boom: I have an outline because I forgot to switch to fill. So I need to delete that outline, swap from outline to fill color and do what I initially wanted: Change the fill color. WHY does Illustrator not automatically bring the color to front that already exists on an element? If an element only has a fill, bring the fill to front upon selction. If an element only has an outline bring…

Colors: change line and area at one time
How about a shortcut for changing both line and area color at a time? Say I have a red square with a red contour and I want to change both to green I will have to change one thing first and then the other. Maybe a shortcut like alt or shift would help?

Index colour profile setting to create pixel art
Just how you have image mode settings in photoshop illustrator could really benefit from the feature of index image mode, allowing artists to create accurate pixel art. Lots of textile designers will also benefit from it.

Dynamic Swatch
It would be awesome to link colors used in multiple places to a parent color swatch. When wanting to change every instance of a specific hex value you could make the change once and have them all update (similar feature in InDesign, I believe?)
1 voteYou can make a swatch global to achieve this
.png){kind=link}
.png){kind=link}
