A Way to Organize Color Swatches

I'm a big fan of organization and efficiency when it comes to production eLearning development. One of the biggest challenges is keeping track of hexadecimal colors that I use on a daily basis. I used to use Adobe Kuler, which was a fantastic way to explore color combinations and a swatch panel that I used to organize all the colors I used for various projects. Well, they've recently changed to Adobe Color and have basically ruined what wasn't broken and now its requires Adobe Express in order to edit and save color palettes, so I started researching other options. Frustratingly, nearly all the options I found required a subscription. 

What I ended up doing is create an html document that I keep on my desktop and it's been absolutely wonderful and I wanted to share with this community as I have received so much help and assistance from this amazing, creative community of professionals. 

Open and edit the html document with Text Edit, or Notepad and you'll see the section where you can add your own color swatches, or update what's there. You can name them whatever you want and add in the hexadecimal color code. When you open the document in a web browser, you simply click on the color you want to use and it copies the hexadecimal code to your clipboard. My next push will be to create another one that is all pastel color combinations. This has ended up being one of my favorite new resources and best of all it's free and super easy to customize. 

Enjoy and continued success!
