Create and edit color palettes

---

Custom color palettes are collections of colors or color styles that you save. They can include colors or color styles from any color model, including spot colors, or any color palette found in the Palette libraries. You can create a custom palette to store all colors or color styles that you need in a current, or future, project.

It’s easy to share color palettes with others. The custom palettes are accessible from the My palettes folder in the Palettes docker.

You can create a custom color palette by choosing individual colors or color styles, or by using the colors in a selected object or an entire document. You can also edit, rename, and delete custom color palettes.

Custom color palettes are saved as XML files and are stored in your Documents\Corel\Corel Content\Palettes folder.

Rename a color	In the Palette editor dialog box, click a color in the color selection area, and type a name in the Name box.

When dragging most vector objects to the palette, you add all object colors to the palette. When dragging a bitmap, you can specify the number of colors that you want to be added to the palette. If an object includes a fountain fill, texture fill, or pattern fill, only colors that are defined during the fill creation are supported. Colors from PostScript fills are not supported.

If you add a process color to the palette, but treat it as a spot color, the color is changed to spot and the color name is preserved. However, if you choose a spot color with a trademarked name, for example a PANTONE color, and convert it to a process color, the trademarked name is substituted with the color components for that color.
