Color styles not shown in all color pickers?

Edit: Figma support said they are actively working on a fix for this, yay!

Did we lose the ability to choose color styles within the color picker? I see it moved to a tab within the regular color picker, but if I want to choose a style for a drop shadow, its no longer there at all.

I’m doing a design with solid “drop shadows” and its really slowing me down having to sift through the document colors or find something to use the eye dropper on. Please tell me I am missing something

    Figma engineering team fixed the gradient issue (Create gradients from color library) 🎉 Try refreshing Figma.

    glad/not glad its not just me. How do we get figma peeps in here to see this thread? Or at least know if they are aware of the issue?

      Swapping between Libraries seems fixed for me, they launching a new UI that you now have to pick ALL from the dropdown. The UI inside the color picker has also been updated, so the gradient option is there, it just looks different.

      Sure, the gradient option is there, but I can only see a list of the Document Colors below the picker and HEX. Before, there was a dropdown and you could select the Library Colors ONLY to choose from for your gradients.

        Did someone get an answer from Figma about it? (not be able to pick colors for gradient from Library Colors).

        thats not the issue though. The issue slowing folks down is that color styles can not be accessed within the gradient or drop shadow color windows. Only document colors are available (see screen shot). The UI used to let you pick between styles or document colors.

          I sent an email with a link here to support, they said they are forwarding it to engineering and will be in touch.

          I think we are talking about 2 issues. I am able to select a gradient as it IS part of a library. I do have the UI now, that allows me to switch to ALL libraries.

            I have this issue. I need to pick specific colors for a shadow. I can’t navigate through 100 colors in my library efficiently to do this.

            I would like to toggle between swatches and list here:
