    Ok so if you look into this post
    https://p-v.club/threads/jackson-caravalho-splash-brushes-pro.50003/#post-273094
    Jackson Carvalho sells this brushes but also sells an action to create what he calls, magic pallet. There is one on this forum but, it's not the same and doesn't do the same.
    Since he shows on a video how to use it and, upsss hehehe keeps photoshop History panel open, it was very easy to recreat the action to create the Magic Pallet.
    It works in all photoshop versions, since it uses only features you can find in old versions of Photoshop that uses Smart Objects. So since CS2, Solid Color Layer, and Hue and Saturation
    My action creates more swatches of color, Jackson Carvalho only creates 6 but, you can ignore the extra ones my action creates.
    The reference site is this one, but this action doesn't come from there

    The action is in English since I use my Photoshop in this language, although my native language is Portuguese

    I insert a Stop in the action but, upss my English lol so here it goes.
    When the action stop at the beginning, Photoshop is waiting for you to pick a color. But it depends on the settings you have on your photoshop in the Eye Dropper. Using Sample size is useless since it pics only the color of the pixel where you click. You should set ate least 5 By 5 or 11 By 11. 3 By 3 is ok, but now the images have more resolution, so I use 5 by 5, and that's it.
    Color will be transfer to the Solid Color Layer and the rest the action takes care

    Even better, the person who created the palette didn't hide all the steps of the action when he posted the video on YouTube, which allows me to easily replicate it.

    What is the benefit of creating this palette? Skin tones? Mind sharing how he uses it in the video, maybe the video link? I always used 3D Lut Creator for creating palettes so if I can stray away and use this it would be helpful

    This as really easy to replicate. I teach photoshop for almost 20 years, and I’m an Adobe Certified Expert and Instructor, so I just have to see is History pallet and follow the steps
