    Larger CMYK palette?

    Just upgraded my screen to a huge Dell 3007WFP-HC 30" and now I have lots of screen realestate at last.

    Now I'm wondering about expanding my default CMYK color palette.

    Before I start manually adding a lot of squares to my CMYK palette (I wouldn't mind having 5-6 rows of colors to quickly click; before I kept it to the standard mostly using either the flyouts of each color or just the color docker)

    I'm wondering if there are some easy "expanded" drop-in CMYK palettes to replace the default CMYK palette with a new CMYK palette that has a nice smooth gradiation of colors always visible.  Also how about some CMYK palettes that have some nice complimentary color palettes already built? Anything like this?

    hi Island

    Here is a CMYK palette I made for you.  But.. colors are unsorted.

    Thanks!!!

    Curious minds have to know -- did you just make it so quickly, or did you already have it?

    Also looking at some of the boxed alternate palettes that ship with Corel, I'm wondering if they're automatically made via sampling an image (the values seem awfully close to have been made by a human -- one c, m, y, or k value apart on some of them, some have the same value in multiple squares like cmyk/nature/mud or cmyk/nature/sand which seems really odd.)

    Oooh... I just realized I can have more than one palette open side by side too. For some reason I thought I could only have one docked at a time.

    I made it for you in perhaps 4 minutes. I have some tools to assist with this.

    possibly... or tracing it, then "making palette from document"

    The Palette browser docker is a fast way to open and close palettes, just to see what's there.
