Swatches and the legend
Export Swatches writes two files.
File | What it is |
|---|---|
| A Photoshop swatch file. Every swatch is named after its material. |

Load the .aco in Photoshop with Swatches panel ▸ panel menu ▸ Import Swatches. You then click a named swatch instead of sampling a pixel.
The .aco is written with both a version 1 and a named version 2 block, so older Photoshop versions read it too. Affinity Photo can import .aco palettes; for other software the .csv is the practical route.
