Best way to get swatches into illustrator from adobe color now

[Kevin Sean]

I've tried dragging and dropping the swatch from the libraries panel now that the panel doesn't support importing adobe color swatches directly. I can drop vectors and other assets directly into my document no problem but not swatches, the little green + icon shows up but it doesn't go into the doc. Why?

Are you trying to get library colors into your swatches. I draw dummy objects then select them and use the swatches flyout >> add selected colors. Having swatches in the library has created less need to use the swatches panel.

I think it would be nice to be able to drag and drop colors from library to swatches. It shows a plus once you are over the word swatches, but unfortunately that does not work. Also as you mentioned you get a plus sign when dragging a library color to documents pasteboard, but that does not add the color.

Maybe in a future version. You can post your suggestion in the Illustrator voice.

Hello, no, I'm using adobe color to create a swatch theme, then saving the theme to a creative crowd library. There used to be an icon in the swatches to import directly from adobe color in the swatch panel but support was dropped a version or two ago.

Ctrl click in the Library and select Add theme to swatches?
