How do I find the moonwalker swatches?

I'm working on Illustrator Foundations and am unable to find the moonwalker color swatches that Matt is accessing in the video. I tried looking at the course downloads but it doesn't seem to be there.

Does anyone know where I can find them?

Thanks -

In this video I believe Matt uses the "blob-brush" tool. It has become one of my favorite ways to illustrate. If your looking for the color swatches, try looking for the hexadecimal code he uses in the video and copy it down to get the exact color you want. If you can't find your color swatch pallet in illustrator try opening it in the view window dropdown menu ( or press the f6 key) to view colors.

Okay gotcha - he appears to be uploading a swatches panel from his computer - and he also seems to be indicate that we should be able to access these swatches too - though I don't know how. I thought it might be in the "project files" download below the video, but there are no swatches in that download.
