Adding Your Color Theme – Preparation for Creating a Logo and Infographics

Adding Your Color Theme

Returning back to the Adobe Color app, on the right side is the ability to add your color theme to a select library, create a new library, and name the theme. You can also add tag and publicly publish your color theme to Adobe Color as well as check for accessibility which we will look at in a moment. When done, you can save the theme, and it is added to your library, and you can access it in applications such as Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign as well as other Adobe applications that have access to the Libraries panel which we will look at in Volume 3. Refer to Figure 2-45.
