    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

      +1 for more than five swatches.


      More importantly, I would want this to be done intelligently. I'm not super-knowledgable with color theory and typically build color schemes off a 'parent palette' - typically using shades. I wonder if you could produce auto-generated 'child palettes' built off a parent scheme - using the same rules (analogous, monochromatic, shades, etc..)


      Also...

      +1 for color collaboration. I love what the Flat UI team created with their color picker - Flat UI Colors. It would be awesome to create and share more comprehensive palettes with your team.

      I would love to be able to 'Add a Colour' in Kuler.  I work for a federation of schools, who use a different colour for each of their academies.  There are quite a few (36) and would love to be able to load a palette and select the correct colours easily - and share that palette with co-workers.  Please make this happen Adobe!

          I am part of a team of designers working together across multiple clients with multiple colour palettes. I thought Adobe colour would be a great alternative to using libraries to share client colour specifications within a team and across multiple Adobe apps. However, it is restrictive in terms of the amount of colours that can be added as many of our clients have colour palettes that exceed 5 across primary and secondary brand colours. This could be very powerful in terms of being as design tool rather than a tool for inspiration only which seems limited and pointless.

            As a UX designer, I'm not only creating a UIs for sites with a 5 color pallet but sometimes I'm required to intoduce user customization into my site/apps that allow the user to select their own color to represent a category. An example of this might be a calendar app where assigning unique colors to different calendars would be done by the user.  A range of colors that match the over all look and feel of the app/site is very appealing, even if choice is given to the user to select their own color. 

            In any case, it would be nice to be able to generate more than a limiting 5 colors.  

            Great app BTW. I use it all the time.

                Just wanted to add to this discussion. As a brand designer along with defining color usage, across ui, print, etc., I distribute and manage access to our brand standards. Currently we share .ase files via a centralized brand site. If we could share these via Kuler it could be great. We also create pallettes that are more extensive than 5 colors. My thinking would be that we would initially create a pallette in one of the CC apps (illustrator, fireworks, indesign, etc.) and sync the pallette to kuler so that anyone within our organization or externally would always have the latest version of our color systems. Beyond that it would be great if we could grant access to people within our organization permissions to edit or not. Maybe this is built into CC in some way, if so I'm not familiar.

                Best,
