Hi @Valc2 

 

To see the old swatches, open the Swatches panel menu and select Legacy Swatches. To learn how the new Swatches work, see here:

    Hi Jane e

    This has been so helpful and I very much appreciate your help! 

    I do have  a couple more questions though concerning  the swatch panel. Is it possible to make your own color swatches and add them to the existing menu? If so, how would one do that?

    And, If I am seeing the new color swatches correctly, many of them are in very subdued colors? Many look very washed out. Is this the way they should look?

    Again thank you so much!
