Hi

I am not sure if such plugin exists, but I would really like an extension, that makes it easier for me to manage colors. Let's say I have to draw a new arm for my existing character; I make a new symbol, sketch it, draw it (the black outline with Brush Tool), and then: Back to Previous symbol, Inside another symbol, perhaps one more time then, Ink tool, grab color,  Back to Previous symbol(s), Into the symbol that I just drew AND FINALLY I can color it with the right color Smiley

So what I would love is a sort of a list of my swatch colors with the possibility to easier manage colors, move them around, and most of all: being able to call them something, so that when I need a color of my character-number-10'th shirt color, I just find the corresponding color by finding the right title, and make my life 70% easier.

Any suggestions?

For each character or element, I usually make a library symbol with blobs of my colours, grouped and named. Then I can just pick the colours from the library thumbnail preview. I name them with an underscore at the start so they always stay at the top of my library. For example:

_biteyColours
_prowlieColours
_foliageColours

etc..

That is a smart trick - haven't thought about that Smiley
