Paletto Studio
What it is
Paletto Studio is a free web color tool for surface pattern designers. It can build a palette from an image, pasted hex codes, or colors selected from a personal library. For image-based palettes, it extracts colors and provides harmony tools to refine them, then lets users preview the result on a design in the browser. The image tool accepts PNG, JPG, and WEBP files up to 50MB. Its recolor tool can start from pasted hex codes, a saved library palette, or a newly created palette. Palettes can be exported for Photoshop, Procreate, and other uses. The palette and recolor tools work in the browser without an account. Signing in with Google lets users save palettes, arrange them in collections, and load them into the tools. Uploaded images are processed in the browser rather than sent to Paletto Studio or third parties. Users own their designs and palettes. Exported colors may not match physical print output because monitor calibration and substrate variation affect the result.
