in the mixer panel you have an option in the trangle in the upper right corner of the panel to -add swatch- which will place your current color in the swatches collection. You can add as many swatches as you want until you have what you want, then in the mixer panel, using that triangle in the corner again, you have the option to save your swatch as a file using -Save Colors…- and this will make a .clr file which you can then reload at any time to bring back your swatches.
