I am preparing a pie chart with seven categories. Originally I used shades of pink to colour the different categories, but it was difficult to differenciate them when looking at it, so I added a blue tone to every second category.

However, I am not satisfied.

When I search in adofe colours the palettes normally contain only 5 colours..

Do you have any tips how to solve this?

Because of my topic I would prefer pink as main colour, and an additional, f. eks blue..

Lorentz, Hi.

As Doug mentioned, you are not restricted to 5 colors.

You can create you own swatches.

One such way is by using Blend Steps.

Let’s see, you are wanting some pinks and blues.

Here I started with 4, pinks and blues.

Object>Blend. I used Blend Steps 5

Do the top two, then the bottom two.

Object>Blend>Expand.

Now take those two Groups and Blend again.

Expand.

Select all, Swatches panel, Create a New Color Group.

There you go, now you have a choice of 49 pink and blues to choose from.
