And to assist, here is the entire LightBurn color palette.

How to export the color palette from Lightburn into my drawing program?

For most users, the exact details of the colors used in the color palette are unimportant, but some of our users have asked about the colors used to simplify developing templates for external design software. To export, make a simple shape of each color (Grid Array can speed creation) and then export it as an SVG - all the shapes would have their colors set. This is the color table used: Layer Color Hex Layer Color Hex [Layer 00] rgb ( 0, 0, 0) #000000 [Layer 16] rgb (128, 128, 128) #…

@Rick You were right. I was previously exporting in Inskape SVG but needed to export via “Plain SVG”
