Illustrator Tutorial for Custom Color Swatches
Creating a Work Path from a Color Range Selection in Photoshop: I used this technique to create the Vegetation Diagram.
1. Make a color range selection from your image.
a. Go to “Select” at the top of your Photoshop toolbar.
b. Choose “Select Color Range” from the drop down list.
c. With the eye dropper tool, select a color from your image (pressing the shift key will allow for more than one selection to be made), hit enter, your color should now be selected.
2. Go to the Paths panel. If the Path panel isn’t open, go to Window at the top of the screen and choose Paths.
a. Press this button 
on the Paths panel. If you hover over the button at the bottom of the Paths panel, a pop-up will read, “Make work path from selection.”
b. Your Work Path should now be visible in the Paths panel.
3. To use this Work Path in Illustrator you must do the following.
a. In Photoshop, go to File, from the drop down list, go to Export and choose “Paths to Illustrator.”
b. You will be prompted to Name and Save your file.
c. Once your file has been saved, open Illustrator.
d. In Illustrator choose File, and select Open from the drop down list – or in Windows press “Ctrl O”/ Mac “Cmmd O” to Open.
e. Choose your newly created file.
f. The new file you’ve created from your Work Path will not have Fill or Stroke colors, therefore your Work Paths will not be visible.
g. To select your work paths – (Windows “Crl A”/ Mac “Cmmd A”) to Select All – or you can press the small circle on the right side of your current Layer in the Layers Panel to Select All.
h. With your Work Paths selected you can now give them Fill or Stroke colors to make them visible.
