Overview
Swatch palettes in Infinite Painter are sets of color swatches (samples) that can be used in any artwork.
A number of named palettes come with the application and new sets can be created or imported.
The swatch palettes in the Color panel appear in two forms: the large Main Swatch Palette tab and the compact palettes under the color wheel and color sliders. Both large and compact palettes are synchronized.
