Can we create Color Themes from elements?

New Here ,
Jun 02, 2022 Jun 02, 2022

When saving colors to a library it seems the only option is to save each color individually. This results in multiple elements in the library;

But when saving "color themes" using applications like Creative Cloud they import into a library in a nice tight group.

Is there a way to select multiple items in Illustrator that are different colors and have them saved as a Color Theme into a library?

You may first create a colour group in the Swatches palette and then add this colour group to (a group of) the Library palette.

That worked! Thanks! Kind of a bummer though it will only hold up to 5 colors

Yes, it's indeed a bummer.

 

Also, I'd like to see some more compact and smaller views in the Library palette, just like the different views in the classic Swatches palette. At the moment it's often just a waste of space.
