Is it possible to use or find more than five colors?

[more than five colors?]

And if it - is how can I do this?

Hi Sue,

I was just wondering and because it's nearly another year later. What did they say?

I still use illustrator - PS. I still keep looking to use the app and again I find myself looking for other alternatives. Today I'm here because Kuler's page has been loading slowly and showing 404 errors. Not that that's a my problem as I'm sure that will get fixed anyway.

Yes, a lot of people don't use it because of it's limitations. It's sort of a shame as the app is in the bar on the right but it's limited to 5 colours.

Hi Stephen.

At one point during the past year I thought the addition of more colors to Color Themes was imminent.

Unfortunately I just checked with the product team and it no longer is. Although it is a feature that the team is planning to implement eventually, there is currently no date set for its inclusion in the app.

I wish I had more/better information for you.

Sue.

I agree, it could really be valuable to add support for more than 5 colors in "Color/Capture"

+1 for more than 5 colors please. Color CC, while not listed in the actual CC app, does have "CC" in its name. To say it's intended for inspiration vs production is a bit strange, since you can save and it immediately shows in your Libraries...for production.

+1 for more than 5 colors! I agree with Martin that since you can save right to your Libraries, Color CC should definitely be used in production and not simply inspiration--very strange limitation.

Hello,

I'm adding my voice for inclusion of at least a few more colors as 5 is very limiting, and for a few different reasons. The biggest is to allow me to create designs for Spoonflower, which is a site that can print material based on uploaded images.

(Sidebar: I also added my voice to the Capture "Looks" thread to add it back in - I can't seem to get access to my main "Looks" swatch for Spoonflower).

Best regards,

Lori

I'm too requesting the possibility to add more thna five colors. As of now it's pretty much unusable and instead I use other websites.

"It would be great if you can talk about a few workflows where you find having more than five colors useful."

Gee, when in the world would it ever be useful with more than five colors? 🙈

I am making 2D animations for a kids show. I am working in Illustrator and After Effects.

I need to organize my colors in categories; some for characters, some for objects/vehicles/etc., some for the backgrounds in different themes/settings, etc. I would love to have my colors neatly organized in different groups; as a big color map to make it easier to keep my palette uniform during the production.

Five colors per group is therefore extremely limiting and impractical.

Also it would be very handy to be able to simply double click a color to copy the HEX values, since the eye dropper tool in AI and AE wont sample outside the program window.

I've spent hours now trying to find a good solution. Adobe Color is ALMOST there, but I won't use it because of this weird five-color-limit.

I've seen some online solutions, but I would like to be able to save my palette offline. I'm surprised at the lack of simple and practical solutions to this. What on earth are other designers doing?

Almost every single color application I can think of requires more or less than 5 colors. The question I have is, why is it locked on 5 colors?

For instance, designing themes for app interfaces typically has 10 colors, or designing for depth map gradients in Unreal engine requires only 4 colors. It is rare that I have never seen an application design which required precisly 5 colors.
