When to credit the color palette author?
I am new to the site, read the adobe terms etc and still not sure about this so I'm asking,
I create personal and professional web sites (developer skills only) and the kuler site has great color palettes, esp. for color-challenged like me. Anyway, can i use the hex colors from the palettes in personal and professional sites? and if so is giving credit to the creator required? If required, how do I do that? Can I use small, readable print in the welcome page footer? or burried deeper in the site? or in hidden code?
I have no problem giving credit but want to know if its required and how?
Thanks.
bt10988,
For any color themes that have been shared publically with the community, I'm unaware of any requirements regarding crediting the author once shared. That being said, I can't imagine most creators minding if you gave them credit on a website in whatever way you felt so inclined to do so.
Hope that helps,
-Dave

Q Color picker icon outside the color palette.
Good day, I was working ( or practicing, I'm an AI newbie ) with AI then I noticed that when I select
an object, and I wanna fill it up with color, when I click on the color palette and I hover the mouse pointer
outsite the color palette to the working area, the mouse pointer doesn't change into a "color picker" like
it does in Photoshop. Is there any way to turn it on? Thanks!Hi Jacob, I already tried that but while the color palette is being shown, I can't switch to any type of tools. When I try, the color palette window blinks as if it is telling that "I am turned on, you must close me first".
Anyway, I've already managed to present a sample image. Here it is :
As you can see on the image above, in Adobe Illustrator, when the color palette is on, and I try to hover the mouse pointer outside the color palette to the working area, the mouse pointer remains as a default pointer (encircled in red). While in Photoshop (below), the pointer automatically turns into an eye dropper or color picker tool and I can easily click on a color that I want to copy. I find it very useful when working with gradients.
I'm just wondering if the changing pointer is not available in Adobe Illustrator. But then again, I think that's a bit impossible. Maybe I'm just missing something. Thanks Jacob. Cheers!

What is the top right button in the color palette used for
I've seen several tutorials on different mac apps and when they refer to the color palette I see a oval shape button in the top right corner. Maybe that was in 10.5 or latter but I'm using Lion and there is no oval button in my color palette. I see this in Pages, Pixelmator and Keynote but no oval button showing.
Thanks in advaceI've found over the past day that its presence comes and goes, presumably based on background apps.
As I'm unable to predict when I'll catch it next time, it's best I close this question and I'll reopen a new question when I can provide a screenshot.
Many thanks for your response, and I'll watch for its reappearance.

Stop the color palette from returning to RGB on its own
I only use grayscale and mostly, HSB to choose color, but A LOT of times, when I have HSB selected, the color palette decides to return to RGB, and I can't even figure out a pattern for that occurence. It just happens.
It's extremely annoying! Please fix this!
Thanks.I didn't know! Wow, how encouraging to know that! By the way... can anyone tell me if Adobe ever reads this forum? In fact, here's what I'm going to do: I 'll post this same question as a discussion, and if I don't get an answer from an Adobe employee in, say, a month or two, I'll just give up posting stuff here, because clearly, there's no point. Hope I'm wrong.

I need help with color pallette in iPhoto 11. I have created a book and would like to use a different color background than those given in "background." I have found the color palettes but can't seem to incorporate them into my backgrounds palette.
That is not a feature of iPhoto - suggest to Apple - iPhoto Menu ==> provide iPhoto feedback.
Additionally I have no idea what you are saying here
I have found the color palettes but can't seem to incorporate them into my backgrounds palette.
And it always helps for you to dientify the version of iPhoto that you are using

When I change the color using windows 7, apparently firefox runs slower. The videos I watch are spotty and looking like it's in slow motion. Sometimes I get a prompt to use firefox colors and this fixes it. But why can't I use other colors, and are there settings to help me fix this problem? Thank you for any information you can give me.

In the Color picker, the selection in the color palette is different than preview.
Working in Illustrator CS5 on a Mac. When choosing a color in the palette, the preview showing up is different than what is in the palette. If I hit "OK" the actual color chosen is the one in the palette, not the preview window... Including some pics for reference.
In my 10+ years of using Illustrator, i have never seen this.
I am using a Dell monitor on a mac... not sure if that would make a difference.The new/old color preview box is not color managed and thus not reliable. I think that's the way it has always been. It will be the same as the selected color if you assign to your document the color space of your monitor using Edit > Assign Profile. People without a custom monitor color profile by default will not encounter this problem - they always see the colors wrong but consistent. Once you have a custom made monitor color profile you will see a difference between the same color in color managed and non-color managed software and sometimes parts of the same program like Illustrator can be color and non-color managed.

How can i search for a color that is not in the color palette? (CS 5.5)
I have a client, that has used a certain color in a series of textfields throughout the document.
The color consists of all 4 CMYK colors and needs to be just Keycolor. However the color is not in the swatches menu, so marking it there and changing it won't work. I have downloaded a script that might have worked, but it could only find colors that were in the swatches palette. (Find / Change by Color / Overprint" version 1.2).
Ofcourse, creating a similar color and adding it to the swatches doesn't work.
Is there anyway that i can search for the color or does it really have to be done manually.
Best regardsYou can only search for real, actually existing swatches. No sweat: use "Add Unnamed Colors" in the Swatch panel dropdown menu to get a list of all of the manually applied colors.
Since you want to change all of them to the same color, you don't even have to use Search/Replace. Simply delete the new colors and select the one you need in the "Replace With" dialog that appears. -
Hi,
In Excel 2003 I used the following lines (see BELOW) to populate my color palate (in an orderly manner) with custom colors.
It appears that these commands did not make the migration to Excel 2013.
Could someone please help me with the fix.
THANX for your time... Frank

THANK YOU for your reply.
I have just enough VBA skills to get myself into trouble PLUS it's been a LONG time since (with any regularity) I've written any subRoutines.
I'm getting a Compile Error: Can't assign to array... and... "arrPal =" is HIGHLIGHTED (in the arrPal = ActiveWorkbook.Colors statement)
I should probably mention that the ColorPalate code resides (along side) with other code... in a macro subroutine that configures Excel for the way I work.
The code I used is BELOW

Where is the color palette for the chosen Keynote theme?
Each Keynote theme has its own look and its own colors, right? And if you create a bar chart, all the colors of the different bars will nicely match the chosen theme.
So, shouldn't these few theme-compatible colors be listed somewhere in the color chooser? If I want to draw something using a few objects (or if I want to highlight some text using color), I want to choose from exactly those few theme-compatible colors.
Is that possible? I'm really confused as to why such a list of colors is not readily available as a palette in the color chooser?! Or is it, somewhere? I don't want to choose some ugly color that doesn't match the theme!
Thanks!

Chose white color and obtain purple when opening again the color window
Hi,
I have installed fresh new Illustrator CC 2014
I have noticed a great bug
I create a vector shape, I fill it with white color . All is Ok
Now, i click in the color explorer in order to change the white color and it show me a purple color !!
What's happen ??I start with white color ! and when i open my window color, it's purple CMJN code !
So i replace CMJN code purple by CMJN code white. I close the window and when i open once more, it's again the purple code !!! -
When I click on Affects, then Synthetic Aperture, then SA Color Finesse 3 in the Creative Cloud a grid appears over the video in the display window, and I am un sure how to take that off?
Color Finesse 3 LE is included with After Effects and is installed automatically when After Effects is installed. The only reason to upgrade to the paid version is if you want to use Color Finesse in Premiere Pro as well as in After Effects.
Since it's a college computer, do you have the ability to install/uninstall software? Many colleges lock down the computers to limit such access. You'll need full access, including an admin password, to use the following steps. If you're not allowed the necessary access, you can pass the following along to whoever does computer administration.
To remove the trial version, delete the entire "Synthetic Aperture" folder found in:
/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Common/Plug-ins/7.0/MediaCore
(Note that this is the Library folder at the base of your boot drive, not the one in your home folder.)
Next, re-enable the bundled version of Color Finesse by going to the following folder:
/Applications/Adobe/Adobe After Effects CC/Support Files/Plug-ins/Effects/Synthetic Aperture
Now, within that "Synthetic Aperture" folder you'll find a plug-in with parentheses around the name:
(SA Color Finesse 3 AE64)
Remove the parentheses from the filename so AE will see it. Do NOT remove the parentheses from the "(CF3 Support)" folder or AE will launch very, very slowly, and Color Finesse won't work right.
Finally, within the "(CF3 Support)" folder, locate the "(SA Color Finesse 3 UI)" application and remove the parentheses.
Launch AE, apply Color Finesse to a layer, enter a name, and you should be good to go with no grid lines.
