The Color Palette Manager is a docker that lets you quickly access the available color palettes, including the Document palette and the Color Styles palette, and create custom color palettes. The color palettes in the Color Palette Manager are divided into two main folders: My palettes and Palette libraries.
Color Palette Manager
You can use the My palettes folder to store all the custom color palettes that you create. You can add folders to store and organize your color palettes for different projects. You can also copy a color palette or move it to a different folder. You can open and control the display of all color palettes.
The Palette libraries folder of the Color Palette Manager contains collections of preset color palettes from which you can choose colors. You cannot edit any of the color palettes that are found in the Palette libraries. However, you can create a custom color palette by copying a color palette from the Palette libraries folder. For more information, see Displaying or hiding color palettes in the Palette libraries.
