Palettes Reviews

Ignores main colors

ΘBBΘ fan on

United States

I tested it on a photo with a large pink flower in the foreground and light greens and grays in the background. The 5-color palette generated had black, light green, and 3 identical medium grays. Worthless. I think it used to work the last time I tried it. I was thinking of upgrading, but won’t now.

Palettes Pro

Upgraded through the app so can’t leave a review under Palettes Pro. This IS an amazing color organizer. Everything you could want plus more. Have tried many other similar apps but have now deleted them! Palettes Pro is going to be an invaluable tool for my surface pattern projects. Thank you! I so hope the developer continues to support this wonderful app😃

Cannot get app to do anything. No instructions help screen is a joke

Where has this been all my life?

If there’s anything this app can’t do, I’ve not found it. Colors in, colors out, with any combos you demand...and I demand a lot. For example, easily took a palette from Pro rebate, yanked it in here, took it out to another app, and to Photoshop (different file formats, but did them both in the same step). I’ve seen zillions of color palette applications since the birth of Mac and Windows. This is the best. If you don’t like it, YOU have a problem. As a nice extra, I had a usage issue and emailed the developer. He got back to me in an hour or so. On a Sunday. This review supersedes my previous review and rating, appended below. For quality, the Pro version deserves five big stars. But see my title. I bought Pro on my iPad Air. Just opened on my iPad Pro. If there’s a way to do Restore Purchase it’s well hidden. If there is a way, or Developer adds a way, this goes up to a rave Five Stars.

black background ruins this

Blue Pine on

Although this has some nice features, there's a very serious fundamental flaw: The black background skews colors. Here's why: Against black, all other colors look lighter than they would out in the real world. So you think you've got colors that are light enough, but when you get them out there against normal backgrounds, turns out they're darker than you thought. It's a fundamental flaw. The option to put a needle-thin white line around the color lineup doesn't make a difference. Also, picking RGB colors is arduous. I can think of two other ways to do this that would be far easier.

I’m in love,

In order to make a color, you need PRIMARY colors, right? SINCE WHEN WAS GREEN A PRIMARY COLOR?!

No stars was my rating

Got duped into this one Custom colors show up as black tiles Should have known when there were no reviews My bad

Limited Ability

LLLLLLLLGGGGG13 on

United States

Not only does it only allow 3 palettes, it only allows 5 colors in the palette. 2 of the palettes are pre-programmed, and therefore renders this app nearly useless.
