Q: Sharing custom color palette

Hi,

 

Wondering if there's a way to share / export custom Color Palettes across devices?

 

Have searched in the Color file under Library, but unable to find the .clr file of the custom palette, only 'Apple.clr', 'Crayons.clr' and 'System.clr'.

 

Thanks in advanced

Color, OS X El Capitan (10.11.5)

    Don't overlook your custom colors saved from the Color Chooser in your local Library/Colors folder.

     

    The standard search path for color lists is:

    • /System/Library/Colors
    • ~/Library/Colors

     

    You could keep a folder of color lists stored on iCloud, and copy these to the ~/Library/Colors folder on each Mac on the local network, but the Color Chooser would not be aware of the iCloud location. There is no provision to prevent like names from overwriting one another from that process either.

    Thank you! That was driving me slowly insane.
