Problem with new color swatches

Here is a workflow that I keep running into problems with:

  1. take a material - a plastic with a diffuse color.
  2. Make it a multi-material
  3. duplicate the initial multi
  4. edit the color for the new one
  5. the color are now both the same.

This is the most frustrating thing I’ve encountered in a while, and my workaround to click + to create a new swatch isn’t working because it keeps defaulting to a swatch somewhere else in the pallete. I’m in a panic here because I’m realizing I’m overwriting these named colors that I can’t even read the whole name of because the swatches are too small and there’s no view options to see a list.

Am I crazy? is this just a bug or some kind of backwards new feature forced on us? please help!

Can you show how the material graph looks?

Hi Joey,

Would it be possible to share a screen recording of the behavior you are seeing? Possibly the scene?
Where in the Color Picker dialog are you clicking ‘+’?
