How do I clear my color swatches in Photoshop CS3?
The only way I know to clear your color swatches palet in Photoshop is to drag each individual swatch to the trash. That sucks! That’s why I created the No Swatches Photoshop pallet to clear your color swatches fast and easy! Just choose “Replace Swatches…” from the Swatches window menu and replace your current swatches with No_Swatches.aco.

Many thanks for the empty PS palette, is greatly appreciated.

Thanks! This has always been one of those photoshop quirks that just didn’t make any sense and had no real solution.

Sweet! What a nice thing you did there. I don’t know why I hadn’t thought of an empty swatches file. Good call and thanks doubly for the effort to help us all!

This won’t load in CS5 – but a quicker way to delete swatches is to hold alt(win) or opt(osx) over each swatch and quickly click to delete them one at a time

Loaded just fine for me in CS5. Also, I tried your way…clicking on each one while alt was held down. Clicking as fast as I possibly could still wasn’t faster then 4 click to load this palette.

It was kind of you to share this, but I thought everyone should know there IS an easy built-in way. Click on Preset Manager, shift click to select all colours, delete. That’s it. Natural empty swatch.
