Color Palette Creation

@mathelme, I really liked your creation of the color palette in "Logo Design Basics - Adding Color" video. I have been able to replicate this except the "flattening transparencies and merging" in order to get the hex values. I'd be very interested in knowing how you did this.

If anyone else knows what I'm talking about and would like to respond, please do!

Thanks

Alex

  4. Open your Pathfinder Panel (Windows > Pathfinder)
