How to Import Palettes into Inkscape & Create Custom Inkscape Palettes

In this Inkscape 1.0 tutorial, I show you the best methods for creating custom palettes in Inkscape as well as imported palettes you create using a third-party palette generator. I show you my favorite source for finding great color schemes for your graphic design projects, as well as how to create a custom palette directly inside of Inkscape. Finally, I also show you how to import custom palettes you've created in GIMP into Inkscape. This tutorial works for MAC and Windows users.

Much easier than typing all the hex codes into a doc. Thank you so much as I need to set up 5 palettes.

Great vid, thanks! I have a question: in some video tutorials I’ve noticed that a palette can be placed on top of the page, on the upper border. How can I do that? I haven’t been able to figure it out. Thanks in advance!

Thanks for the great video! It doesn't work for me somehow, I can see the .gpl file in the palette folder and in Inkscape on the side bar, but the slide at the bottom bar shows empty, no colours. Do you know what it could be wrong? I am thinking I don't have the right application in my Mac to open .gpl ??

Hi thanks, I have used Corel Draw for years, I just started learning Inkscape, my big question is can I rename a color in a custom palette?

LIINUX USERS: You can show hidden files by using either of these methods...
1. Right click anywhere in your Home folder and tick the checkbox for 'Show Hidden Files'
2. Home -> View -> tick the checkbox for 'Show Hidden Files'
