Color Harmony Tool

[Christian37474330to89]

Dear Adobe Team,

I hope this message finds you well. I'm writing to propose the development of a new Color Harmony Tool for Adobe Illustrator. As a designer who frequently uses Illustrator for creating artwork, I believe such a tool would greatly enhance the creative process by facilitating better color combinations and harmonies.

Problem: Illustrators and designers often face challenges in selecting and maintaining color harmonies within Adobe Illustrator. While the existing color tools are robust, they could benefit from integrated features specifically tailored for creating and managing color harmonies.

Proposed Solution: Introduce a dedicated Color Harmony Tool that offers:

• Predefined Color Schemes: Access to classic color harmony rules such as complementary, triadic, analogous, and more.
• Customizable Harmonies: Ability to create and save custom color palettes based on user-defined harmony rules.
• Real-time Preview: Instant visualization of how selected colors interact within the artwork.

Benefits:

• Enhanced Creativity: Facilitates exploration and application of harmonious color schemes, fostering more aesthetically pleasing designs.
• Improved Efficiency: Streamlines the color selection process with intuitive tools that save time and effort.
• Consistency: Helps maintain color consistency across projects and ensures cohesive design outcomes.

Implementation Details:

• The tool could be integrated into Illustrator's Color panel or as a standalone feature, accessible from the toolbar.
• Compatibility with Illustrator's existing color management tools to ensure seamless integration and user familiarity.

Conclusion: By incorporating a Color Harmony Tool into Adobe Illustrator, you would provide designers with a powerful resource for creating visually compelling artwork while enhancing workflow efficiency.

Thank you for considering this proposal. I believe this tool would greatly benefit Illustrator users and contribute to Adobe's continued leadership in creative software innovation.

Best regards, 

Christian Mulcahy

Some of these features exist in the web-based Adobe Color site:
https://color.adobe.com/create/color-wheel
Custom palettes generated there can be saved and used within Illustrator.

Illustrator has its own built-in generative recolor feature.

Astute Graphics' Phantasm plugin has features to alter/adjust colors in artwork.

All of that isn't quite as convenient as having a stock, built-in toolset for automatically building and editing color palettes and libraries, but the capability is there to some extent.
