How to Add Custom Colors or Patterns to the Colorways Page

This article explains how to make custom colors or pattern swatches available on the Colorways page.

How It Works

The Colorways page pulls from your Illustrator Swatches panel. Any color or pattern you want to use on the Colorways page needs to be added to the Swatches panel in Illustrator first.

How to Add a Custom Swatch

  1. In Illustrator, open the Swatches panel.
  2. Add your color or pattern swatch as you normally would in Illustrator.
  3. Navigate to the Colorways page in the TPW plugin.
  4. Your custom swatch will now be available to apply to your colorway.

Good to Know

This applies to both solid colors and pattern swatches. As long as the swatch exists in the Illustrator Swatches panel before you use the Colorways page, it will be available to select.
