How do I create a color palette from an image? Open an image, expand Color themes, then open a theme's actions and choose Save as palette. Visualist saves those colors as a separate palette file that you can rename, edit, and reuse in Canvas. Also in: Files and library
How do I build a color palette by hand? Open the palette creator, pick 2 to 5 swatches with the color picker or enter hex codes, optionally generate a random starting set, name it, and save. The palette becomes a file in your library you can reuse across your projects.
How do I create a palette file? A palette is its own saved file in your library's Palettes tab that you build once and reuse across designs. Create one two ways: extract it from an image, or build it by hand with the color picker. Name it and save it, and it is ready to drop into moodboards, lookbooks, and documents.

How do I reuse a color palette in Canvas? Saved palettes live in your library under the Palettes tab, and they are available inside Canvas. Open the Library panel, filter to Palettes, then drag the palette you want onto the canvas.
How do I rename or edit a color palette? Open the palette and use the file menu to rename it inline. To change the colors, edit swatches directly in the palette: click a swatch to recolor it, add or remove swatches, and drag to reorder. Archive or move a palette to the bin to remove it.
How do I search my library by color? Switch the search bar to color search, then enter a hex code or pick from the swatches. Combine up to five colors to narrow it down, and Visualist surfaces the files in your library that match. It is the fastest way to find images that fit a palette. Also in: Files and library
How do I search my library? Use the search bar to search by keyword, color, or image. Type a word to find related files, switch to color search to pick swatches or enter hex codes, or drop in an image to find visually similar files. Also in: Files and library
