In this Inkscape 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.

Visit Coolors.co for awesome color palettes/swatches (they are not a sponsor - I just really like the site).
