Description
250,000+ downloads later, Pastel is back and better than ever, with a ground-up revamp designed for Mac. Now available for Apple Vision Pro.
Capture and collect color palettes with Pastel!
Pastel is an app for amateur developers & artists (like us!) that lets you build up a library of color palettes to use in your projects.
With drag & drop, drag colors out into other apps like Pages and Keynote, or many third-party apps from your favorite developers, so you can use your Pastel library as your master color collection across apps.
Seamlessly sync your library across devices with iCloud.
Analyze photos to determine their dominant colors — choosing specific colors manually if you wish — and save their color palettes to Pastel.
Includes a variety of color pickers, like wheel, RGB sliders, and crayons, or pick named colors from your color library that you curate yourself. Drag and drop from the sidebar to any palette.
Copy a variety of developer-focused code representations, like RGB, hex, Objective-C, Swift and SwiftUI. Paste hex codes into the sliders color picker.
From the menu bar, bring up the color picker from wherever you are and sample colors from the screen.
Copy a pixel bitmap representation of a palette to paste into your favorite pixel editor, or export as an image.
In the free version, try out the built-in library, and add your own palettes up to a limit of 20 items total. Upgrade to the unlimited version using a straightforward, once-off in-app purchase.
What’s New
Version 2.3.5
• Fixes an issue that could prevent drag and drop reordering of palettes
Ratings and Reviews
Pastel
I saw this app on app of the day, i struggle with making nice colours and these suit my drawings so much! You can import them to procreate. One thing that might be nice is being able to import it to other drawing apps like for eg. Ibis Paint X or Adobe sketch BUT REMEMBER you can still copy the hex codes so u still can import the colours just not as easily .
That’s really all, but this app is amazing! I definitely recommend it especially if you have procreate!
My goto for colour
A very handy tool when doing web (or any design) highly recommend for designers and developers.
Good but could be great
I love the ability to explore colour and create palettes. I wish I could do two things. I want to export the palette in a format that could be used by Procreate. Second I want to be able to bring in a picture and collect the colours from it. Then IU could adjust the colours using the app. A good that could be brilliant with these two minor tweaks.
Developer Response ,
Hey there Beariedtreasure
Pastel does both of those things already! When navigated to an existing palette, or a new, empty palette, the Camera button at the bottom left lets you import a photo and automatically create a palette from it, and the Share button lets you export a palette in Procreate® format. Hope that helps!
