## What is Paletteer?

The native colour tool built for developers.

Paletteer isn't just another colour palette generator. It’s a bridge between inspiration and your codebase.
Built natively for iOS and macOS, Paletteer lets you extract colours from any source and export them directly into the formats developers actually use:
Swift extensions, Xcode Asset Catalogs, CSS variables, and VS Code themes.

Whether you are an indie hacker starting a new SwiftUI project, or a front-end developer building a design system, Paletteer eliminates the friction of manually copying hex codes and writing boilerplate.

EXTRACT FROM ANYWHERE
• Website CSS Extraction: Drop in any URL. Paletteer fetches the page, parses the stylesheets, and extracts every HEX, RGB, and HSL value used on the site, ranked by prominence.
• Image Extraction: Upload any photo or screenshot. Paletteer uses local k-means clustering to instantly find the dominant colours.

BUILD YOUR THEME
• Create custom palettes with as many colour slots as you need.
• Name your colours semantically (e.g., "Primary", "Background", "Accent").
• Use native Apple colour pickers with full opacity support.
• See a live, real-time preview of your theme as you build it.

EXPORT TO CODE
Stop exporting to PDFs or PNGs. Paletteer speaks your language:
• Swift: Generates a ready-to-paste Color extension.
• Xcode: Generates an .xcassets manifest for your Asset Catalog.
• CSS: Generates a :root block with CSS custom properties.
• JSON: Clean, structured data for any custom pipeline.
• VS Code & Visual Studio: Generate editor themes instantly.
• Sketch: Export .sketchpalette files for your design team.

NATIVE APPLE EXPERIENCE
• Built 100% in SwiftUI for a lightning-fast, native feel.
• Drag-and-drop image support on macOS.
• No accounts required. No cloud processing. Your images and data stay on your device.
• Syncs seamlessly across your iPhone, iPad, and Mac via iCloud.

Stop wrestling with browser dev tools and generic colour pickers. Get Paletteer and go from inspiration to code in seconds.
