Try this: after pasting the hex code for the next color into the next COPASO slot and press TAB. I think COPASO needs a signal to tell it you've finished with something and want the results displayed. Give me a shout if this doesn't clear up the problem.

You can check out this group: Designer's Block it hasn't been updated recently, but hopefully it will help.

@divinemscharity, go to the color you want and copy the 6 digit hexcode (it'll look something like this: #A1B2C3). Then enter (or paste) that code, without the #) in the hexfield for the color you want in your palette. Works the same way whether you're using "Create New" or "COPASO".

How do you make a palette from colors already established on CL? I cannot seem to figure out how to do this. I've got the colors I want, but cannot get the palette maker to work with them at all. Any help would be appreciated.

@cotton.candy, you probably want to start on the color creation screen. Try different colors until you get a message telling you that a color hasn't been named. Then you can name it whatever you like. Once you have a bunch of there (which you can view on your profile page, btw) then you can create a palette where each of the colors is yours.

@NermalDiva, you can download a palette into a graphics program and print from there. Under each palette, you see a series of buttons which show you what applications you can download to (ending a sentence with a preposition, I know), such as PS for Photoshop or AI for Adobe Illustrator. More information here: Sharing the Love.

Thanks Onebreath! I hadn't considered that option. Will think of some more interesting things to do with the ones I no longer like...

I've created some palettes (and published them) but have now decided to get rid of them. Is there any way to do this? Thanks!

@leartiste, could you clarify your question? Do you mean your avatar picture, your profile picture, a photo to use as inspiration when you're creating a palette ... ?

As to the "Add Colour" issue . . . I was once stumped by this too. If you add a colour that already exists at COLOURlovers, the screen refreshes and the "colour square" on the left side of the screen will now have the title of whomever created and named that colour. If you create a colour that hasn't been "taken", then you will see a pop-up box that says "Please fill out all required fields" . . . just scroll up to the top of the screen and add your new colour name and that should work. Good luck and welcome to CL!

Hello & Welcome. If you scroll back up the palette add page you should see some new form fields to name the colors. And what does it do when you try and add a new color? Is there a message? Does it take you to another page? Happy COLOURloving. -D

Also, I really need some help making colors. It doesn't add my color when I click "Add".

Hi there. I've been on CL for only a few days, and it is a really cool site. But, I am having trouble with creating palettes. When I click "Add Palette", it says to name the colors I used. But, I cannot find where I name the colors. Thank you for your help. Also, if you have any other tips about CL, I will accept those too. Thanks!
