P: Ability to sample colors from the Libraries panel

Wow. I had to create an account just so I could comment on this. I thought for sure I was missing something. But, you seriously can't access the library panel from the layer styles panel. That's absurd. In the past I've just been too lazy to Google the solution, but it never dawned on me one didn't exist. I agree with the poster above who asked, "Do the developers even USE the product??"

Wow. I thought I must've been missing something, but this is SUCH a glaring omission. The fact that this is "under consideration" and has been for over THREE YEARS is utterly ridiculous. WTF is the point of having the library swatches if I can't colour pick them? OK - I'll close the colour picker, then drag them from the Library panel to my swatches panel....oh, that doesn't work either. What the hell, Adobe? How can you leave such a hideous bug (and it is a bug) for YEARS?

Yes please do fix this. I have asked tech support about it today and there was no solution. 

I vote for this! In addition, can there be a way to set the color management for the libraries? At top level branding, they tend to select a PMS, CMYK, RGB, and these don't always match how Adobe chooses to handle the colors in each type of document. 

It would be so cool, if we could do something souped up for branding colors that sets how color should be handled for each document type. This doesn't sound like a big deal, but if I need to match something so that it "blends into" and matches a background color, it can quickly turn into a huge deal! I'm working with designs that must translate to multiple campaigns, from booth signage to print collateral to matching social and web. I need the colors to be spot on. 🙂

Say, you want to "set" a color as a special "brand color."

Right click, "Set as Brand Color" and this brings up the following dialogue box:

SET BRAND COLOR 1:
PMS:
CMYK :
RGB:
HTML:

This would save me and others soooooo much time.

Also, can we divorce color themes from Adobe Color? 5 is really, REALLY limited and it seems like the web colors get out of whack often since that tool was originally meant for hex code colors. I would much prefer the ability to create a color collection of our 12 total branding colors. If I could make larger color groupings, it would be so much easier for my branding palettes, especially those that live inside the same parent company. 

Mike, I used to use Pixie and it worked great when I used to be on Windows 7. Should work fine on the latest version of Windows.  http://www.nattyware.com/pixie.php 

You can click and drag the eyedropper tool from the document window to any part of Photoshop, including the colors in the Library Panel and select them that way. Not elegant, but should do until this feature is added.

Those are both mac .... Any recommendations for Windows?

Adobe should indeed have implemented this but in the meantime you can use an app like ColourSnapper (paid but much more reliable) or Sip (free with a premium plan).

I never felt this pain because I always had CS installed.

My thoughts exactly. Maybe we're using Photoshop wrong and it's not meant to be used that way?

I can't believe it has been two years and this still doesn't exist. Ridiculous!!!!!!
