I think this is a simple question. I want to add custom colors and label them to my color picker palette. E.g., various flesh tones for different people. I know the numbers for the colors, but don’t know how to get them added to the palette.

Once you’ve created your color as your foreground, you can just choose the paint bucket tool, position it over one of the blank areas on the swatch palette, and click. You can also name the swatches there. This is how I usually do it, but I’m sure the fine people of this forum will have better suggestions for you.

You can add swatches. Any reason why that won’t do what you want?

Just get the foregound colour to be what you want, open the Swatch pallette and you can add a new one. Just click on the New Swatch button at the bottom. Double-click on the swatch to give it a new name.

Thanks! I knew it had to be easy, just couldn’t find it in "Help."

I agree Colin. Just try and find, in the help file, what the symbols mean when there’s either no profile or a profile mismatch (the "*" and the "#"). I must’ve spent an hour looking for that, and just couldn’t find the right language to do a search.

Still never found it btw…
