dont forget to add it the official way...

So it is true that there is no native color organization in XSI?
Ouch.
I better make this a feature request then - drag and drop of colors
into and out of toolbars would be a first step.
The next step should be an overhaul of the color editors. I don't
think they are very efficient currently - way too many "layers" with
little functionality. It would make more sense to me to just have one
color editor that can be (pre-)set to show certain things, one of them
a custom color palette where you set a color chip with the right mouse
and grab a color with the left mouse button.
Those palettes should be saved with the scene and also savable to disk.
This palette should be a field next to the color selector (similar to
the windows color picker layout, but maybe reversed with the palette
on the right side which could be collapsible).
It would also be nice to find a way to better preserve RGB 255 values
- currently they never stay the same when the color editor is
reopened. There should be enough precision in a float for that IMO.
Amazing what basic stuff can be missing in a fantastic software like
XSI >LOL<
I will look into that ppg thing though.
Thank you!
And if there is a better trick currently, I'm all ears :-)

You can also create a custom pset and use the custom property wizard to
populate it with color parameters.

Hi,
I hope I am missing something obvious, but the docs didn't help me
much and I couldn't find a good way to organize my project colors
yet...
I find the color pickers in XSI rather tedious and inaccurate
(entering RGB 255 values especially - I understand that is because of
the conversion to and from float but it's annoying anyway...) when I
have to match certain product colors and I miss an obvious way to save
colors and access them quickly later on.
In Lighwave, there was a very cool color picker plugin called "Picky"
that came with a large selection of nice color presets, doubleclicking
a color added it to a project palette (saved with the scene) and
another area was showing the last used colors.
So how do you do it?
Is there a way to save a color (and just a color) as a preset that I
can drag onto a color chip in XSI?
Sorry if this is a stupid question.
Thanks,
Thomas Helzle
