Introduction:

In this post, I will explain an easy way to visualize and plan a great colour combination to apply in a preset.

Tutorial:

To achieve this, I suggest using a great tool from Adobe: Adobe Color.
Here you will be able to choose a colour and visualize a palette depending on the chosen setting.

With some basic knowledge of colors (or google research) choose what type of palette you need from the following many on the left side:

The reference colour is indicated by a white triangle. You can either paste the hex code of it or manually adjust the shades.

Example, let's create a preset! :

The first thing I wonder is "on what colour do I want to base my preset?", I will choose sky blue with the settings "Split Complementary".

I will base my preset on these colours

I will base my preset on these colours

These are the colours will base my preset.
