In Harmony Stand Alone, you can store the palette in the scene, inside one of its element, or inside its provisional job or environment.
- In the Palette List panel, select whether you want the palette to be added to the Scene Palette List, or to the Element Palette List of the currently selected element. Note that in the latter case, the palette will only be usable by the element.
- In the New Palette Name field, name the imported palette.
The palette is copied to your project and added to your scene's palette list.
