**Create New With AI** reads an image of colour swatches, for example a colour card, and proposes a name, HEX code and Pantone details for each colour it finds. You check the result and save the colours you want to your **Color Palette**.

**Where to find it:** Library → Color Palette → Create New With AI

**Requires:** permission `UPDATE_PRODUCT,VIEW_PRODUCT`

## Detect colours from an image

1. **Click "Create New With AI"**
   On the **Color Palette** page, click **Create New With AI** at the top right. On a small screen the button reads **Create with AI**.

   

2. **Choose a Pantone type (optional)**
   In **Pantone Type**, select the Pantone family the AI should use, for example **TCX (Textile Cotton)**, **TPG/TPX (Textile Paper Green)**, **C (Coated)** or **U (Uncoated)**.

   

3. **Choose a category and collections (optional)**
   In **Category** and **Collection**, select what the saved colours should belong to. You can also create a category from the **Category** field.

4. **Upload the image**
   Drop an image in the upload area or click it to select a file. You can use .jpeg, .jpg, .png, .gif or .svg files up to 10 MB.

   

5. **Click "Detect Colors"**
   Click **Detect Colors**. The button reads **Detecting...** while the AI reads the image.

   

## Check and correct the results

When the detection is done, the window shows "N colors detected, M selected" and a table with these columns: **Color**, **Name**, **Hex**, **Pantone Code**, **Pantone Name** and **Actions**.

- Uncheck the box of a colour you do not want to keep. The box in the table header selects or unselects all.
- Click the pencil in **Actions** to correct a colour. Change the name, HEX code or Pantone details in the row, then click **Save**, or **Cancel**.
- Click the trash icon to remove a colour from the results.
- Click **View Image** to see the uploaded image next to the results, and **Hide Image** to hide it.
- Click **Re-detect** to throw the results away and detect again.

## Save the colours

1. **Click "Save"**
   Click the **Save** button at the bottom right. It shows the number of selected colours, for example **Save 3 Colors**.

   

You see "3 colors saved successfully" and the colours appear in the list.

- When you save **one** colour, your uploaded image is saved as the picture of that colour.
- When you save **several** colours, they are saved without pictures.
- If no colour is selected, you see "No colors selected".

> [!NOTE]
> If you close the window while detected colours are not saved, **Discard detected colors?** asks you to confirm. Click **Keep editing** to stay or **Discard** to close.
