Custom Photoshop Swatches - Hope you find this useful!

Hey guys, just wanted to share this custom swatch set that I made today. Im trying to get a better understanding of the color wheel, and how color works in general, and making this was a good little project. I hope you guys may find it useful! I made several color sets, then a thick bar of black along the right side, for if you want to take a color from the set, and copy it into the black area, so you dont have to hunt for that specific color again.

Heres the actual .aco swatches file. If you load it into the swatches window, and position the window like in the image, the colors will fall into position correctly.

Cheers oracrest, your swatches are excellent. One question -- how do you copy a color into the black area? I couldn't find any way of doing it.

hey, thanks guys, glad you could use it.

Balooga - thats a good question, having that space to the side was a good idea in theory i think, but i cant seem to figure it out either, at least an acceptably easy way.
