Bring back system color picker as an option
Now all my color sets I've made in the system color picker for using in many other different apps are unavailable in Adobe XD. That was not very good idea. Additional little button to call the system color picker within the standard color picker panel would be appreciated.
Thanks for your feedback on this. We’re pretty set on having our custom color picker instead of the system color picker at this point. Please feel free to re-file if you feel strongly about it.

Added feedback to the link provided. Definitely a disappointing surprise.

I'm a bit shocked that a feature as widely used as the color picker's various displays were pulled out from under the rug. I would recommend having some kind of mechanism in the app to mention feature changes that may impact users.
By making this change you have wasted countless hours of work selecting and saving color palettes and force users to abandon this app in favor of other tools for color management. That was a big disappointment.
Bring back a flexible set of options and make your new color picker the default "tab", that way you don't eliminate quick selection options. I was using web safe colors as a starting point but that's gone now.

My color palette used to look something like the attached. Now all my custom colors are gone? Why not have a Photoshop feature preference where we can use the XD color picker or the Apple color picker? I wish the release notes mentioned that you would be getting rid of the Apple color picker. Instead, you only mention there is a new way (instead of also mentioning that your’re nixing the old one).
