CS^ - make the palletes show the name of color

[ametista society]

hello. I don't know if is a swatches windows thing. But here and there I prefer that the illustrator showed the name of color when we move the mouse  for a hint.

In the attached image, it shows the cmyk code:

The tooltip does show the name. By default, a swatch is named after its CMYK or RGB code.

Double-click on it, name it something else, and that name will be shown.

Oh, maybe it wasn't so in the old versions. the reference book that I have is old. it shows the tips with the classic names: night blue, red carmezin, etc

It's been that way at least as far back as CS5.

They may have been using a document profile or a swatch library in which those swatches were named.
