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

Another voice for more than 5 colours in Adobe Colour Themes ... it would be a BIG improvement.

+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.

I was attempting to use Kuler as a means to unite all the adobe programs around my color templates. With this use in mind, I was definitely interested in seeing the option to add more colors. Strangely enough, however, I've learned Kuler doesn't sync with photoshop CC (you can save to the web from it, but you can't download to PS from Kuler,) so I'm not entirely sure how useful this is to me. I have to manually download the profiles and drag them into the swatches category in order to use them, which to be fair is pretty useful (better than me manually entering them) - but it's a far cry from the ideal cloud-based organization structure of having your pallette's right where you need them in all your adobe applications.

My two cents: Adobe needs a much more comprehensive overhaul for tieing in professional pallette's. This may be Kuler, or it may not... either way, I see no difference thus far between using the products as I used to and using the creative cloud. When I think of cloud-based products I think of everything I need being tied to my account. Currently that's not possible with colors, it seems.

For what it's worth, I think it's implemented very well in InDesign, so with that respect I think Kuler is great save for the limitation of 5 colors. Perhaps it's worth having a "create" category, and a "library" category - that way you can label each color and save them in any amount you wish for retention of your current pallette's. I think that would be really cool - and if it was tied into Photoshop the same way it is tied into InDesign it would be nearly perfect. Seems like a relatively small tweak to the overall structure with a big payoff for us professionals if it can be implemented.
