How do I save custom colors in Color for reuse? ![Skjermbilde 2021-05-30 kl. 13.56.30](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex005/uploads/realmacsoftware1/original/3X/8/0/80448a51376fbc9a25737ce32eda57fbae4a9a7e.png) ---

That can be found through the [Apple Support](https://support.apple.com/guide/mac-help/use-colors-in-documents-on-mac-mchlp1190/mac) or the Apple OS help tab. Create a new color profile _(rapidweaver?)_ and save it. This is a useful App also, [Sip](https://sipapp.io), that I found suggested here ---

you can create custom palettes if you click on the 3rd icon in the top row. ![palettes](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex005/uploads/realmacsoftware1/original/3X/f/9/f9d89d6ad4549346d30f28bb6889da95b9b72793.jpeg) A + sign appears and a new list will carry the name “unnamed palette”. You can then drag the picked colour into the palette. I recommend naming it instantly, either with a functional name (“link hover” or something) or, better, with the hex code. This will allow you to re-use the same colour where you can’t use the built-in color picker. ---

@therealmf It is possible that I do something wrong, but when I click on the 3rd icon ![Skjermbilde 2021-05-31 kl. 10.00.26](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex005/uploads/realmacsoftware1/original/3X/7/8/78aa5729578d9d81927f02ca5d0d85480c6bb563.png) in the top row, I do not get any plus sign. I’ve tried to add color, but when I start RapidWeaver again, it’s all gone. ---

I think I figured it out, but getting this error when I click on the plus sign: ![Skjermbilde 2021-05-31 kl. 10.10.46](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex005/uploads/realmacsoftware1/original/3X/1/a/1aa570568c6973a3cc373d03cf95f5556d259f4d.png) ---

Something’s wrong with RapidWeaver. 1. I get to create a new color palette with name. ![Skjermbilde 2021-05-31 kl. 10.17.17](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex005/uploads/realmacsoftware1/original/3X/2/3/23813143fac5ec9b4002d78515c61429dac59fd1.png) 2. I save the project. 3. When I open the project, the color palette is gone. ![Skjermbilde 2021-05-31 kl. 10.18.11](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex005/uploads/realmacsoftware1/original/3X/c/3/c32334690c51e7a10960f31a23c93d7da3b2f914.png) ---

I think there is something wrong with your color picker. This is what it should look like: ![palette1](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex005/uploads/realmacsoftware1/original/3X/6/6/66856cd66c86d2c37bc4704e5a87b0fc7cde125b.jpeg) ![palette2](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex005/uploads/realmacsoftware1/original/3X/a/1/a102b446dc38d14d5a64a8fa9003334abe48ade1.jpeg) ---

Yes. Looks like something’s wrong, but how do I fix this? 🤔 ---

I found a solution. The Colors folder was missing in Big Sur. `~/Library/Colors´` ---
