Adding colour palettes from adobe color cc to your documents

We love using Adobe color cc to create custom palettes to use from photos and other existing documents. Importing them into high end publishing and design tools is pretty straight forward with the ASE file that you can save and download. (See our colour wheel tutorial here). What happens when you wish to apply the theme to applications like Word or PowerPoint. There are two ways that you can transfer the colours into a palette in your application without the ASE file.

First generate your palette using the color wheel or imported picture. I have chosen an imported picture that I use on my Blog.

From the top left corner select import image

A file browser appears and you can choose an image. If you prefer make up a palette from the color wheel instead.

Now select COLOR WHEEL and scroll down to the bottom of the page so that you can see the color swatch and the writing underneath. The writing is the RGB (red green blue) values of the color palette.

These values can be written down and used in your documents or shared with colleagues so they use the same colours for club or company documents.
