So I want to do a simple gold-yellow-gold-yellow-gold fountain fill in X7.
In X6, I can just choose the Gold preset and change accordingly.
In X7, I'm lost.First, there is no more presets. Second, when I try to choose the node color, there is no standard colors with names to choose from (Gold in this case).If I try to pick the color (e.g. Yellow) from the color palette, the default color palette is PANTONE Solid Coated instead of CMYK.And there is no more Edge pad option.
That is ridiculously troublesome for a simple task.

Both the "Show color sliders" and "Show color viewer" are CMYK, but the "Show color palettes" is PANTONE by default.
It occurs on every file, even a new document.
Start a new document, draw a shape, launch the fill tool:
If I change the model in Color Palette from PANTONE to CMYK, it will only remains as CMYK for this particular object. If I draw another shape and repeat the same steps, the Color Palette will still be in PANTONE.

I think that is probably the way that it is for everybody -- but not everybody is following that particular sequence of steps. It probably should be remembering the palette selection, but with X7.3 already announced for December the chances of that fix being in it are very small.
There is one thing you can do already though. Notice there is an eyedropper in the edit fill dialogue. Even when the palette is set to pantone, you can use that eyedropper to pick a colour from the main CMYK palette on the right. The colour does come in as the CMYK value, despite highlighting a matching colour in the pantone palette.
Or if you want a solid fill, you don't even need to open the fill dialogue, Just use the eyedropper from the main toolbox and drag the colour from the main CMYK palette to the object.
