Katja has updated the script! Here's a new link: productivista.com/improved-colorlist-script-for-better-color-charts/ And, learn how to ETHICALLY get Adobe CC free (or cheap) here: ua-cam.com/video/9b2rlS3dSjQ/v-deo.html
Thanks for pointing out this script. I've made 100s of brand guidelines, I wish I had this ;)
I would suggest preparing swatches for each colour space (rgb and hex in a rgb document), and then running your script. When I deliver brand assets, colour swatch files are always delivered to the client, one for print, one for digital. And these are used to execute all of the logos and other assets.
To get your text into neat blocks, just select the relevant text objects (a pantone, a cmyk, an rgb), copy, then paste back into your original text block, add carriage returns, and you're done, no need to go through all of that alignment and distribution of individual lines ;)
Thank you - these are great ideas!!
Happy Freday! I'm so glad to see your video about my script. Thanks a lot!
Thank you so much for creating it!!
This channel is unmatched. ❤
Thank you so much!!
Thanks for the video! She has a new version of the script out... then again, this video is 2 years old :) Information is still great though!!!
Thank you for the info! I will mention this (and a link) in my pinned comment!!
That's very cool. I work in Illustrator and that would be useful. However, I've recently gotten away from just using the raw percentages to spec CMYK.
Instead, it may be better to pull those from the Pantone "Color Bridge" Book. It's in the library and it's essentially the same as using a SPOT number.
For instance, PMS 339c which is a PANTONE SPOT but when used as cmyk then it would be selected from the bridge book. cp = coated process.
That swatch would be 339cp. There will still be cmyk percentages but I like having the number that represents it. Hope that made sense.
Thank you for sharing and putting all the information together. I like that.
Huh, I hadn't heard of using the Color Bridge book - I'll check that out!! Thank you!
Katja Bjerrum from Productivista is amazing! I love her scripts :-)
Thank you, Bjørn
Yes she is!!
ok this is really cool, still working on getting all the steps down but i must admit, this is going pretty fast. I need to slow down the video .25% to get a better feel for whats happening. especially with the shortcuts lol awesome video nontheless though
Yes - sorry! I try to make them pretty quick because personally, I just want a fast answer when I'm looking for a solution. But slowing it down on the video player is a great idea! :D
when i go to create a colour group it says 'colour list' currently not available?? what do i do
I'm thinking the script might not be updated for the current version of Illustrator. But that aside, how many colors are in your artwork? Are they all selected when you do this? Are they added to your Swatch panel already?
@@GDHTI'm having same issue. I selected all the colours
Much love. thank you
You're welcome!!
Can you give me the link to download this colorlist action, I can't find it in the blog. Thank you
