How do I add a palette (someone elses, not mine) I like to my favorites?
@CrazyDaisy:
Sorry for the very late answer. Seems you figured it out on your own, though. :)

I occasionally come across people talking about '15-colour palettes'. What are they talking about?
How do you add a palette to your favorites? I can't seem to figure this out??
Can you preview a palette as a pattern before it is published??
How to add a palette to a conversation? pls help

Easy as can be, coloursplash. Go to your palette page. On the right hand side, you'll see a field marked: Share This Palette Badge. Copy this information (Ctrl-C) and then paste it (Ctrl-V) into your comment.

I have a question.
I joined the 10th of June and for a while now on my profile it says I have;
12 palettes, 1 pattern and 22 colors. When in fact the number is considerably higher.
For example at the moment I have at least 22 palettes and 3 patterns.
How come this isn't updated, is there something I can do to fix this?
Thanks in advance,
pinkcoma

Working in Copasso, becuz I prefer the option to change widths, I began noticing that I didn’t like my tones as much after they were published. Copasso posts the colors against the black background as you choose them and then alter the widths. Yet when they publish and are displayed, they are displayed against the white background of the Browse and bio page.
I did a palette of a Sari I saw the other day. It was lavender draping over what I would call an electric violet, velvet like fabric, tee shirt (for lack of a better word). The lavender draping had a gold calligraphic pattern repeating over it.
When I did it in copasso, I was pleased with the colors. When I published it, I was disappointed, as the tones appeared muddied.
I’ve been noticing this variation with a number of palettes. So I went into Basic palette, typed in all of the r/g/b codes and the colors displayed against the white background of basic. I didn’t like the colors as much as I did when they were in copasso.
In Basic, I altered the colors to have more brilliance. I changed each one slightly til they appeared more satisfactory to me. I wrote down each new code, took them to Copasso and re-entered. Then altered the widths. Here they are
#1 is the original copasso version
#2 is the altered Basic, then Copasso version.
You see the difference? I definitley prefer the 2nd version. Which of the two do you prefer.
And is this an issue you’ve been made aware of with your palettes?
I wrestle with this greatly when I work the yellow and orange tones. However they seem to affect all the hues.
Clearly colors are sympathetic, and one color next to another alters the color.
I’m thinking of publishing this in one of the CL blogs to get others feedback.
I’m wondering is CL has the possibility/option, and if they would even want to change the background color of Copasso.

I am kinda lost- so i have figured out how to create patterns and what not but what exactly are we creating them for? what can they be used for etc??? i guess what im asking is what do you people use this site for?
is there a way to combine duplicate palettes? or could there be in the future?

no, but what you can do is edit one of them, like if you were making a new palette.
If you crushed the editable version in COPASO, you can always edit using the basic editor - using the 'edit' button by the palette - but careful! you'll lose the ability to add widths

There are two ways to create a palette on ColourLovers: the standard mixer and the Copaso mixer. The Copaso mixer has more features - e.g. you can create palettes in which each colour has a different width.
To access the standard mixer, click on "Palettes" in the main site menu, and then choose the "Create New" link. Find instructions on how to use the standard mixer here.
To access the copaso mixer by click on Palettes > Copaso. Find instructions on how to use the copaso mixer here.
