Selecting Your Color

Adding the Swatch to a Palette
You’ll see tabs at the bottom of the color panel. Tap on the ‘Palettes’ tab. Here, you have all your color palettes, like little treasure chests of hues.
If you’re starting fresh, tap the ‘+’ to create a new palette. Or, select an existing palette where your new swatch will feel at home.
