Color swatches are a great addition to any moodboard or project brief. They let you pick colors from an image on your board, from the color slider, or paste in a color value.
Adding a color swatch
Just drag a color swatch out from the toolbar. Milanote will choose a default color to match the images on your board and give your color a name. Drag out a second swatch and you'll get another matching color.
3 ways to choose a color
You can paste a HEX value onto the swatch
Double-click the swatch to display the color picker. Move the sliders around to find the perfect color
Use the eye-dropper (in the color picker) to select a color from an image on your board
Change the color display
Color swatches display a HEX value over the color by default. You can change to RGB, HSL or switch it off completely for a clean swatch. Just select the swatch then change the display in the toolbar.
