Hello Jasmin,

Kuler does not support more than five colors as of now. It would be great if you can talk about a few workflows where you find having more than five colors useful.

Regards,

Kuler team

As a new user of Adobe Color Themes/Kuler my first question was, "How do I add more than 5 swatches to a color theme?" Having access to only 5 swatches at a time is very limiting regardless of ones workflow or project. I'm currently working for a Global Packing Company that has strict brand guidelines. There are currently 8 main colors they use, plus 3 variations of those colors. I work consistently in After Effects and it would be nice to have a color palette no different than Photoshop or Illustrator. Which I'm sure is possible.

i'd like to add my $0.02 to this and agree with many of the requests here (which seem to be the same request).

I'd even like just one more color option...but if you're going to allow one, you might as well allow ten.

That said, I think maybe that the way that Adobe envisioned Kuhler being used and how users are working with it might be slightly misaligned.

Thanks for your thoughts on this Craig.

It's one of the great things about a creative community.... tools are used in unique and various ways (some that were intended and others that maybe weren't). Although I don't know what the future of color selection will look like in Capture, I've shared and continue to share this content with the team.

Thanks again.

Sue.

How is this limited to five? Please change this limitation.

Many of my client's style guides contain main brand color schemes along with secondary color schemes and not being able to contain the entire (12 colors for some) library for the brand makes it tough. :/

Love y'all though! Keep up the great work!

I would like more colours. 5 is not enough.  I can't see any reason why we cannot choose to have more if we need them

I need more colors - I work with a global design team, now I'll need to look for a different way to provide our new brand color pallet to them.

I also want more than 5 colors and be able to sync my palette so it could be available to everyone at my office. I am currently being a bit annoyed that this isn't a thing already. I always have to make new palettes, or save the pallette somewhere and then open it. It interrupts my workflow.

I just use spectrum now, works great and imports cleanly

+1 for more that 2 colours. I am a graphic designer and I am currently working on a brochure where having more than 5 colours would be extremely beneficial to me (I'm needing 10)... It seems like a huge oversight not to already allow this feature.

+1 for more than 5 colors.  I am a video game developer and we could really use this app with more than 5 colors.  8-10 would be perfect.

I am a textile designer and would like to have up to 18 colors please! I would settle for 12 if possible.

In mapping, having more than five colours is required in order to differentiate between types of roads, let alone local features. I would also like to see more colours available in the Kuler succesor.
