  • Simple yet powerful

    This app is an amazingly simple tool for digital artists. For a free app I’m genuinely impressed, and I use it often! I do have some concerns though.

    1. Using a photo to pick colors from doesn’t show the whole image if the image is large. It only displays a small portion of the image in the selection window. I find I have to externally crop my photo then come back to use it here. Even then, if I don’t crop the right dimensions it can scale out of the selection window again.

    2. No option to export palettes to an external file for safe keeping. This is VERY important to me. I have spent many, many hours tweaking perfect palettes and if something goes wrong I know will not have the heart to rebuild all the pallets again in this app. I’ll just try a different app that can prevent loss and make backups.

    3. Not as important but goes along with number 2 - No android version available, so if my iPad dies my palettes are just gone since I only have an android phone. Overall this wouldn’t matter if there was a way to export or backup palettes.

  • color picker

    color picker is bugged for me (iphone 8)
  • Easy

    This app dominates the other apps easily because I can quickly add specific hex codes and fine tune a colour I want. This app is perfect for what I’m doing and has a very simplistic look and feel.

  • Love it but....

    Please add a way to export palettes. I would love to import the swatches to my design programs.

    It’s a really cool app and easy to use. Love the color selection process from an image as well as tweaking it to get the desired color. I just really wish there was a way to export them.
  • EXACTLY what I’ve been wanting

    I’m a hobbyist artist whose preferred style is using harmonious color groups (aka. pleasing-to-the-eye color palettes)! This app is perfect especially for one that’s completely free!!! I love playing around with the colors and making palettes from scratch as a downtime, and this app provides all the tools you need, including a really easy to use eyedrop tool.

    The only suggestion would be to have a way to organize your palettes further (subfolders/categories you can customize). As it is now, it’s still really awesome! Having a way to organize my palettes even more would be a cherry on top since the way they’re laid out can affect how you choose to use them.

    Overall, 5/5!

    Does its purpose very well! It’s easy to use and has some handy functions for getting colors.
  • Nice little app, does what it says on the tin

    I was looking for a no-nonsense palette creator and this app is it. Neat presentation and easy to use.

  • Easy to use - you can change the order

    There is no shuffle but you can change the order of the colors. Easy to use and easy to get colors from the photos! Love, love, love the app :)!!!!
  • Simple and amazing

    Love this app. Can I just suggest that you make it possible to categorise custom pallettes? For example, adding the ability to create folders. Would really make this app perfect.
    Great work

    Thanks for your review and feedback. I am slowly working on an update to the palette data and hope to include some taxonomy that will provide some organization. I hope the app continues to be useful and thank you again!
  • Excellent tool

    Elegantly simple, this app is a dream to use. I’m very pleased with it.
