🐛 Troubleshooting

Script doesn't appear in the menu

Restart Illustrator after copying files
Verify file extension is .jsx not .jsx.txt
Check you're using the correct Scripts folder
Try the alternative user folder location

Script runs but nothing happens

Make sure you have an open document with swatches
Select swatches before running the script
Check that your layers aren't locked
Try creating a test document with basic swatches

Color naming doesn't work

Verify colornames.min.json is in the same folder as the script
The file must be named exactly colornames.min.json

Colors don't match exactly

Color conversions between different color spaces (RGB, CMYK, LAB) can result in slight variations. This is normal behavior due to different color gamuts.
