Sadly, I lack the ability to generate good palettes. I just have a hole in my brain where that ability should go. So a palette generator is no help, for me.<p>Is there a good, reasonably active, site with a list of palettes that talented people were good enough to make Freely available? I used to go to kuler.adobe.com (spelling?) but I think it changed and I&#x27;ve since had trouble finding one that is as good.

Hey folks! Loving the comments on trying to use the screenshot. I thought it would be really nice to have a full size demo of the product rather than a scaled down graphic - but it turns out there could be a downside!<p>Happy to answer any and all of your questions!

This looks nice, but I don&#x27;t think I&#x27;d want to pay $10 for a color picker, especially one that would only work on my Mac...

Is there a specific reason this needs to be a program I download rather than just a website?

The app looks great! I appreciate the native Mac design, and the tab picker at the top is well done.<p>The intro video was helpful to see the app in action, but it was hard for me to understand the actual process of how I would &quot;create a palette from a single color&quot;. It might be helpful to have more of a tutorial video with voice over that walks through starting with a color, and getting to a full palette.<p>The tagline of creating a palette from a single color is very compelling to me (as a developer with a modicum of design talent), but I was confused&#x2F;overwhelmed by all the options and it was hard for me to piece together what was happening in the preview video.

Note: this is a downloadable app for MacOS and I too was fooled by the autoplay video.

I actually tried to use the screenshot. Autoplay is disabled in my browser, I suppose it&#x27;s easier to see that it&#x27;s not a webapp when the video is playing.

Site isn’t responding for me. Does anyone have a good accessibility-oriented color generator that makes actually good color combinations?

Just going by what I see in the video, I get the impression that the color palettes are generated in RGB space? I think you should at least support Lab if you want to call the app professional.

I can&#x27;t find any copy on the MAS listings or on the website that describes the differences between Paletter and Paletter Lite. Even just a feature matrix would be good.

The product looks interesting. The website is pretty aggressive about trying to open the App Store.<p>What is the difference between the Lite version and the paid version?

This kind of thing has been on my todo list for years. I should do it some day.

Why are online color palettes always 5 colors? It seems... arbitrary.

I commend the author on their entrepreneurialism. Not sure why this needs to be a native app. You can code up a web app to generate color palettes in about 20 minutes, which is a fun excercise. Or you can just google color palette generator:<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;tailwind.ink" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;tailwind.ink</a><p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;huey.design" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;huey.design</a><p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.tailwindshades.com" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.tailwindshades.com</a><p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;tailwind.simeongriggs.dev" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;tailwind.simeongriggs.dev</a><p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;javisperez.github.io&#x2F;tailwindcolorshades&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;javisperez.github.io&#x2F;tailwindcolorshades&#x2F;</a><p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;tailwind-color-picker.jessarcher.com" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;tailwind-color-picker.jessarcher.com</a><p>Also, maybe consider hosting on Netlify or Vercel or Github Pages, or anything that doesn&#x27;t require a server to spin up for a static site.
