Poor UX on Adobe Color website

[pookeyblow]

Hi,

Here is a pretty annoying issue I have when browsing for colors on the Adobe Color website:

When I find a color theme I want to save, clicking "save" opens a page for the saved color and exits the "explore" view. This is extremely annoying as I have to click back and perform the search (or scroll) all over again, every time I save a theme.

I just want to browse and save multiple color themes to try out in Illustrator.  This should be an easy process, but it's absolutely not.

I couldn't find another way to submit this bug/request to Adobe so I really hope they see this?

Thanks!

I just realised that "save to library" doesn't even add the theme to my panel inside Illustrator. I have to click "appreciate". I don't think many first time users would guess that.

The only way to get my saved themes into Illustrator is to re-publish them as my own themes. I guess this is why there are so may duplicate themes on the site.

"Edit copy" and "save to library" is basically the same thing now.

I think there should be a way to use your saved themes inside Illustrator. This means you don't have to re-publish another user's theme (aka creating a duplicate) and you also make sure you have a personal copy of the theme in case the original creator decides to delete it.

Hello Hans,

Thanks for the feedback.  I can tell you that both the items you pointed out are pretty high on our to-do list.

For the second item, there is a workaround.  If you have Adobe Illustrator CC you can find the color theme you created in the libraries panel ( Window > Libraries ).

Hi

Can you checkout the new Adobe Color Theme panel in Illustrator and share your feedback.

Thanks

Hi!  I have also have a commentary on this UX.  When I do a research, i found some color themes that are repeated and others that don't match on what i want, so i wish to have a button to dismiss that color theme result, and save search, is this a good idea?  thanks
