For CorelDRAW GT-3 has two color palettes: "GT_Colors.cpl" and "GT_Tshirts.cpl". This is because CorelDRAW does not allow plural colors in one palette.

CorelDRAW calls "color palette" but Adobe calls it "swatch". Its function is the same. CorelDRAW's two color palettes are included in one swatch because Adobe allows plural colors in one swatch. |

How to use
Save the swatch file "GT_Colors_T.aco" in your PC.
Click the small triangle (see the image below) and open the submenu. Select [ Replace Swatches ... ] and select "GT_Colors_T.aco" to open.

Before CS, Illustrator swatches are dependent on image (.ai) file. But CS or higher version you can open swatch(es) in other .ai files. So we prepare a no-image-with-swatch .ai file for swatch. Colors included are the same with Photoshop "GT_Colors_T.aco". |

How to use
Save the swatch file "GT_Colors_T.ai" in your PC.
Click the small triangle (see the image below) and open the submenu. Select [ Open Swatch Library ] and [ Other Library... ]. Select "GT_Colors_T.ai" to open.
