Advanced ColorKit · v2.6.0
Advanced ColorKit is an Illustrator-native color workflow extension for finding, applying, organizing, converting, and presenting production colors. The built-in Finder provides fast access to 22,866 supplied colors across 16 color books, with exact-name prioritization, visual previews, library browsing, duplicate-swatch prevention, and one-click application to the active Fill or Stroke. Beyond color finding, Advanced ColorKit can generate tint systems, extract actual colors from selected artwork, identify similar color-book matches, create CMYK, RGB, HEX and named Spot color-code artwork, and build compact proof labels directly on the Illustrator artboard. The extension preserves actual document color models whenever possible. Named Spot and Global colors remain named, CMYK remains CMYK, and RGB remains RGB unless the user explicitly requests conversion.
