Drag & Drop Color Schemes? Really? How?

Sorry, got sidetracked. Wanted to do a test and found all my local design gallery content had disappeared.

Back up & running now.

I'm still not following your method here Acorn. Do you mean if you have Theme Color 1 etc in a file, then alter their values and save the file, when you drag/drop this file onto another that contains the same named colours (Theme Color 1 etc) that these are added as additional colours provided you choose Do not Match?

Could you attach an example of the xar file you can drag and drop onto another xar file?

Sorry Egg, retried with a simpler file and what i thought was an overlay just added a named colour with an alpha suffix (a, b, c, ...). My failed solution just adds in Named colours to palette,

Hello Angel, Can you point me in the direction of finding color palettes I can use with DP11 Pro? I remember one made by the gentleman that passed away a while back.. he had a nice one with all colors labeled. I am a little color blind so the labels helped. Also they were grouped as compliments. Thanks!

Here's one I have on my hard drive. I don't know who created it but it may help Daver. Also attach a metal palette. Again don't remember who created it.

There are 2 colour palettes you can download from this Xara xone tutorial http://site.xaraxone.com/tips-and-tr...rld-of-colors/

And this site offers a large colour palette. http://www.givelifecolorsystem.com/ Download the photoshop file and unzip it inside the photoshop folder you will find a .aco file that can be used in Xara.
