As a designer, matching colors across apps can be a pain. 10.2 seems to have a great new tool to help you in your web or graphic design.

The Color Picker now has swatches (the little squares at the bottom of the picker), often found in programs for storing color schemes. Just pick you color with one of the picker types (Color Wheel, Sliders, etc.) The large rectangular box at the top should change to the color you picked.

Now, drag your selected color from the rectangle at the top, down to one of the squares below. You now have your specific color available to any program that uses the apple color picker.

Add in a program like Color Theory, a digital color wheel program, and designing elements in different 2D and 3D programs becomes a breeze!
