Working with color sets
Color sets are collections of colors that help you organize and store colors. Some color sets are organized by both name and color relationship. Corel Painter provides several color sets — Painter Colors, macOS and Windows system palettes, and the PANTONE MATCHING SYSTEM are a few. You can open any of the available color sets, choose a color from the color set, and then apply it to a brushstroke. You can open multiple color sets at a time.
In addition, you can import a color set to access additional colors. For example, you can import a color set that you created in a previous version of Corel Painter.
If you need to find a specific color in a color set, you can search for the color by name or have Corel Painter find the color that comes closest to matching the current color.
