    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,

      +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.

                I am rather shocked at this 5 color limitation. Every company I've ever worked at has a palette of at least 10 colors they use all across the board.  Please add the option to expand this, I find it insanely shortsighted that this is not allowed. The workaround is easy enough (multiple sets) but this seems so incredibly unnecessary and disjointed. I also find it odd you can't name these colors individually, why is that?

                  Hi LucidLethargy,

                  Thanks for the perspective. 

                  Kuler is focused almost entirely on color inspiration.  Our philosophy has been that 5 colors is a good jumping off point--and, adding more colors would move the focus away from inspiration and more towards production.  I genuinely want to know if you agree or disagree with this line of thinking?

                  All that said, there is still probably room in Kuler for more colors or some sort of deeper view of each theme.  And, I defnitiley think this is something we should investigate further. 

                  Looking forward to your response.
