How To Create Custom Procreate Color Palettes

Procreate comes with a few color palettes and a color wheel to slide around to choose a color. The color wheel is cool but it can be difficult to get the exact color you want over and over. When I learned it’s possible to create your own palettes I was thrilled, and even more so when I realized it was simple. What makes creating your own color palettes possible is the eye dropper tool. You hold your finger down over the color you want and the eye dropper with a circle holding the color picks up that color to use!
