Create and save custom color palettes, including recents
Idea 1: Ability to create a palette of colors that could be used, for instance, throughout a themed journal or page. This would also allow the ability to save frequently used/favorite custom colors.
Idea 2: Hi there — I’m LOVING Zinnia and have spent hours today making journals and calendars. Something that’s taken tons of time and is very repetitive is having to use the color picker to select custom font colors for each new text box. It would be wonderful to have a recent swatch menu like the one you provide for the ink colors in the drawing part of the app. Thanks!

I would like the ability to create and save my own color pallets for various pages and journals. I like that I can create custom colors but I haven’t been able to save them. I can use the color copy tool when I am working on a page and want to reuse a custom color but once I leave that page I no longer have access to the custom color.

I would love this! Right now when I change colors I have to erase a previously saved color. Since this app uses a dropper and not say a hex code, I have to note where I got the original color and the. Use the dropper each time I want to add that color back. Being able to save my frequently used color palettes would be excellent.

Request from a YouTube viewer: After taking the time to create the palette they want to use, it would be nice to be able to copy that palette to other pens/brushes so you don't have to through the process for every one.

This is a request I have been really hoping for!
I think it would be even better if not only could you save custom pallets- but if zinnia included other pre-made palettes to use!
Sometimes I have difficulty setting up a journal because I get a bit too zealous with the color scheme. I end up spending hours just trying to figure out what color palette I can use to make the entire journal cohesive. Some pre-made palettes (I’m thinking something like the palette options you see in coloring book apps) would really help!
In the meantime- if anybody reads this: a quicker way to avoid having to switch page or copy and paste items to swatch colors from them is to save an image of a page that has your color palette already on it. (Be it through text, Journal Pages, stickers, etc.) And then add the photo onto the page your working on.

Color drop; tap a color on your sheet and copy the color and drop or use the same color anywhere else on your sheet.

It would be nice if once we created a color or chose colors for certain journals/pages that we could save them, and also it would be nice if there was a color picking tool, like in procreate, you can use the tool to slide around a picture and get that exact color.

Please, may we have the opportunity to have more pen/brush colour “dots” open on our palette at a given time? When colour coding my student work-groups, and my notes about their prac work, there are not enough “dots” open, and this means having to slow my work that bit extra, to go back to the dropper/picker so often.

Please do this. If using a themed journal it’s nice to have it all the same without having to use the dropper
