## What is Palette Maker?

Mix a five-color palette by feel, then carry the exact hex codes into whatever you are designing. Cinnabar is a palette builder for people who think in hue, saturation and brightness, not in menus.

Most palette apps hand you a random set and hope you like it. Cinnabar gives you five live swatches and three sliders per swatch, so every color is one you chose. Tap a swatch, drag Hue, Sat or Brt, and the whole strip updates as you move. When you want a starting point, Random, Shuffle and Harmony fill the slots in a single tap, and you keep sliding from there.

WHAT YOU GET
• A five-swatch strip that changes live while you drag, so you judge the combination as a whole instead of one color at a time
• Exact hex codes on every swatch, copied with one tap and pasted straight into Figma, Procreate, Sketch or CSS
• A Harmony tool that builds an analogous set around any swatch you pick, when you need a scheme that already sits together
• A named collection you can search by palette name or by hex, sort by newest, oldest or A to Z, and edit, rename or duplicate any time
• Share any palette as text or as a ready-to-post image card showing the colors and their codes
• Twenty hand-picked inspiration sets, from Sunset and Sage to Vaporwave and Slate, each one a tap away from becoming your own

PERFECT FOR
• Brand and identity designers pinning down a client's core colors before opening the big tools
• Illustrators and digital painters who want a fixed set of tones to work within
• UI and product designers who need the hex values now and the mockup later
• Anyone exploring color for a room, a wardrobe, a website or a craft project

WHY NOT JUST GENERATE A RANDOM PALETTE?
Because random gives you someone else's taste. Cinnabar starts from your pick and lets you nudge each swatch until it is right, then locks the values in a code you can actually use. Generators are fast at producing options and slow at producing the one you meant.

PRIVATE BY DEFAULT
Every palette lives on your iPhone. There is no account to create, no sign-in, no ads and no tracking. The app works fully offline, and nothing you mix leaves the device unless you tap Share.

FULL ACCESS
Cinnabar is unlocked with a subscription or a one-time purchase. Choose a weekly plan, a yearly plan or a lifetime purchase. Subscriptions renew automatically at the end of each period unless cancelled at least 24 hours before renewal, are charged to your Apple ID account, and can be managed or cancelled in your App Store account settings after purchase. The price for your country is shown in the app before you confirm.

Open the Builder, drag a slider, and save your first palette by name.

## Version history (last 3 releases)

### 1.1.1 — 2026-09-19

Seven new screens and a rebuilt colour engine.

NEW
• Tune — nudge hue, saturation, lightness and warmth, and see the result on a real button before you keep it.
• Sample — drag the loupe over a photo to read the colour beneath it in HEX, RGB, HSB and HSL, then add it to a palette.
• Workspace — harmony wheel, harmony presets, related palettes and a contrast matrix, all over one palette.
• Contrast — every pair in a palette graded against WCAG AA and AAA.
• Compare — two palettes side by side on the same mock-up.
• Values — every colour in four colour spaces, a copy button on each line.
• Projects — group palettes, assign roles, preview them on real collateral.
• Colour-vision preview for protanopia, deuteranopia and tritanopia.
• Share a palette as a card; every block carries its name and hex code.
• A weekly reminder to pick a palette back up.

FIXED
• Contrast ratios now come from WCAG relative luminance; some earlier figures were off by a third.
• HEX, RGB, HSB and HSL round-trip exactly, so the value rows can no longer disagree.
• Colour difference uses CIEDE2000.
• Prices appear in your own currency, and a Lifetime purchase unlocks everything.
• The close button on the purchase screen works and stays visible on light backgrounds.
• Search, sort, rename and delete across the palette library.
