Since I am new to illustrator, I have a very simple question. I have a color palette from my company. This is the company colors. I would like to input these colors into the color palette of illustrator so I use those colors for our designs, etc. What is one way to do this?

What format is it in?

If it's a normal AI file or an ASE, select "load library" from the swatches panel's menu.

Also: see the manual on using swatches libraries.

Hi Monica,

Thanks for the reply. I do apologize I did forget to mention that format the colors are in. It is jpg format (a simple cut out of the company colors) and not the above AI file or ASE you mentioned. Is it possible to load a jpg format into illustrator?

Might be better to open the JPEG in Photoshop and create swatches there. Then you can export those swatches as ASE which you can then load into Illustrator.

In Illustrator you can include those swatches in a document profile. which you can then base your files upon.
