With this recipe, we can save a color set as an image in the Material library. This is an easy way to save a collection of color swatches as a new color set.
Getting ready
Make sure that the Color Set palette is open. If you can't locate it on the screen, go to Window | Color Set to open it.
How to do it…
Follow these simple steps to save a color set as a material:
In the Color Set palette, click on the menu icon in the top-left corner (it is shown in step 2 of the Importing a palette from Photoshop recipe).
Click on Register color set as a material.
Complete the information in the Material property window. For more information on saving a new material, refer to the Creating and saving custom materials recipe of Chapter 7, Adding and Creating Tones and Materials.
The color set will now be saved in the Material library and will appear in the list of color sets in the drop-down menu.
