Use the Color Swatches panel
The Color Swatches panel (Window > Color Swatches) is a good place to store the colors that you use often in your images. You can select a
foreground or background color by clicking a color swatch in the Color Swatches panel. You can add or delete colors to create a custom swatch
library, save a library of swatches, and reload them for use in another image. You can change the way thumbnails are displayed in the Color
Swatches panel by choosing an option from the More menu.
Although you can add many colors to the Color Swatches panel, you should manage its size and organization to improve performance. Creating
libraries can help you group related or special swatches and manage panel size.
The Photoshop Elements installation folder\Presets\Color Swatches (for Mac, Photoshop Elements installation folder\Support Files\Presets\Color
Swatches)folder contains the various swatch libraries. When you create custom libraries, saving them to the Color Swatches folder makes them
automatically appear in the panel libraries pop
- up menu.
