Pastel

This is a simple and very handy app for anyone who creates digital assets

I have been using this a lot recently to help with my app colour scheme design. The ability to paste the colour code straight in to my SwiftUI code has been super helpful. Keep up the good work!

Loading Pastel next to an applicaition like SimplMinds it was so eeasy to change the colours of the mindmap

Would it be possible for the colour picker tool to send the value to the clipboard for easy sharing with other applications? It would make this feature quite a bit more useful.

Does what it does extremely well, and isn’t bloated with irrelevant ‘features’ just for the sake of it. Useful for any kind of art or design work and exports seamlessly to everything I’ve used it with so far, primarily Procreate.

This app is excellent with the only downside being that widgets don’t work correctly for me - they don’t seem to select palettes right.

Nice colour palette app, clean and easy to use. There’s lots of great thinks to say about this app, but as the good stuff is already mentioned I'm going to talk about some frustrations: When using custom colour palettes the colour system always defaults to crayons every time you go to add a new colour to your swatch have to keep selecting your own colour system, you cant set it as a default. Also this app assumes every one use’s hex, so it can take a few extra taps to see (for example) the RGB values of a colour in the swatch. The app has a handy feature that lets you export your swatch as an image but unfortunately this also only displays the colour and its value in hex so not always usable. So with very little criticism this app is really good and even though you get a generous amount of swatches you can save for free be warned, you’re likely to be finding yourself wanting to upgrade even before you get close to using up your free ones, just for the love of it😀

I already like using Pastel and kept returning to it wheneverr any of my work depended on me making good choices with colours in spite of a few limitations I felt while using it. Just felt intuitve and satisfying to operate in ways I can't articulate as a non-dev that made me that for me justified working around some finer details. I happened to message the developer about a particular limitation at the time and jjust summoned Pastel to help me with one of my infrequent but regular complex colour schemes and a bunch of meaningful upgrades have been added in addition to what I had brought up. I'm going to stop using the word "but" when I recommend Pastel to people. It does everything most people casually browsing the App Store for their tools will need plus a little more, I already genuinely enjoyed booting it up to fiddle around in and it continues to be polished and refined into a great example of a very Mac-flavoured One Thing Well.

Great to use and document colours used for miniature painting, but one thing if I could suggest is that the possibility of pressing on a colour would make it full screen, it would be a great tool for OLS on miniatures,

I just installed this and it will not let me import a photo on MacOS Monterey or the latest iPad update as I cannot see a top menu bar as is on the Mac. Can you please look at this as it is of no use to me as is. DRM
