Information

This is a PaletteEditor used to create color palettes of any size up to 256.

Palettes are arranged in grids with a maximum of (up to) 16x16 (which is 256 cells)

There is a colorbox at the foot of the window that allows you to use brushes and mix colors

On the right is a set of default swatches. Each color in a swatch has 9 different color variations allowing for large variations in color.

You can also pick colors directly from the colorbox or right palette.

There are tools to swap colors, fade them and make the grey. There is also the ability to load images into the colorbox and automatically profile and update the main palette.

Both MacOS and windows downloads are provided and each has dynamic help to assist you whilst working.

In the Palettes folder you will find a number of predefined palettes from the 8-bit era coving atari, commodore, amstrad,etc color palettes for you to check out.

I will update this with the internal code for dealing with the palettes in your own application later ;)
