Custom colors capped at 30?
Jan 07, 2015
When creating custom colors, it appears one is capped at 30 colors. Adding a 31st color overwrites the first custom color. Is there any way to add more custom colors?
It may seem crazy to need more than 30 colors, but I'm working off a corporate branding guide where there are 5 main colors in the palette, and then 9 tints (90%-10%) for each of those base colors, resulting in 50 colors. These tints are used for information graphics, charts, graphs, etc.
Although I would likely never use all of these colors in one course, I work on many courses for the company, and each course most often focuses on 1-3 colors in the palette (and the associated 9 tints of each). I also work on projects for other clients with their own color palettes.
Currently, I have to delete colors to add colors. Does anyone know a workaround or why there is a limit?

Hi Eric
when you create the theme colours in SL don't the % tints automatically create below the main colours in the palette?
Hi Wendy,
For theme colors, you are partially correct. 5 colors of varying tints are provided (some darker and some lighter - see attached). I'm actually working with a base color (100%) and 9 associated tints of that base color (90%, 80%, 70%, and so on to 10%). So, 3 things:
1. I want these colors readily available to colorize shapes and the like
2. The color palette does not accomodate 9 colors (just 5).
3. I have no control over the tints SL provides based on the base color
Hi Eric,
Yes, there is a limit of 30 custom colors within the "more colors" section, and the tints shown are capped at 5, plus the one on top.
