Let's say you're working on a character design.
- You create a new Color Set named "Character Colors".
- You pick the skin tone, hair color, and clothing colors for the character.
- You add these colors to your "Character Colors" set.
- Now, whenever you're drawing that character, you can easily select the correct colors from your custom Color Set.
By using the Color Set palette effectively, you can streamline your workflow and maintain consistency in your artwork.
