Pastel for Positive User Reviews
✓ Great AppEasy to use. Beautiful UI. Exports in many formats. I have a lot of apps, as most of us do. This is the first time I've felt compelled to write a review..Version: 1.1.5
✓ Great app but RGB onlyI paid for it immediately after download wanting to support the developer and impressed by the UI... never would have assumed that there is no CMYK. I hope this gets added soon. Update: the developer responded to me! Thank you, Steven, for being cool. I hope someday soon I can drag and drop palettes onto Affinity Designer, Vectornator, etc. In the meantime, I will enjoy Pastel and my favorite anachronistic color picker, the crayons. :).Version: 1.0.6
✓ Exellent Tool!Pastel is awesome. It's a must have for all web designers and UI/UX developers..Version: 2.2.3
✓ Latest great app from the incomparable Steven Troughton-SmithStop saving your theme colors as hex values in Notepad. Use the beautiful tool instead..Version: 1.0.1
✓ Easy to drag and drop colours into many applicationsLoading Pastel next to an applicaition like SimplMinds it was so eeasy to change the colours of the mindmap.Version: 2.2.6
✓ Great for managing color palattesI would've liked more default profiles, but after discovering how easy it is to import profiles (mostly by googling color palettes), this app has been great for keeping track of palettes..Version: 2.2.5
✓ Great appGreat 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,.Version: 1.1.8
✓ GoodNice 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😀.Version: 2.0.5
✓ Grab all the colours from a photo - make your own colour palettesThis was one of those apps that I paid for the full version of after less than a minute of use. The ability to generate lists of colours from photos and to drag the picker across the photo so you can get every colour there is great. Storing them into a palette to use elsewhere is excellent. And more than anything, the app just does what it does well and cleanly. Instantly recommended to anyone who does design, from local newsletters to professional branding work..Version: 1.1.2
✓ Much more than a colorpicker (but oddly, not a colorpicker)This is a great palette management tool, and it does what it does really well. If you just need a colorpicker, though, this isn't that: In fact, the only way you DON'T bring colors into this app is the one way I (perhaps foolishly) had assumed I would -- By using a system-wide keyboard shortcut to pull up an eye dropper to select a color (Hint to the developer: This would be a great addition). Regardless, it's a great organizer, and I paid for the full version -- even after realizing I'd also need a colorpicker to go along with it (ie, my only issue with it lies with my expectation rather than with the app itself)..Version: 2.0.3
✓ Beautiful app, ugly iconI love pastel’s sleek design. But not the icon. Never..Version: 1.0.4
✓ Palettes disappeared after MacOS updateI've been using Pastel for the past several months and have been pleased with it—but recently, I updated my Mac, only to find that all my custom palettes disappeared! I don't know where to find them—was there something involving an API change or plists that got rid of the custom additions? Since I use this app in my work, losing content is unacceptable. Please address this problem as soon as you can..Version: 2.0.3
✓ Great app and nice simple designI have to say I have been looking for an app like this for a while. Found this app after using TheTask app and what I love about that app I like about this one. Simple design. Gets to the point with a user friendly design. Purchased the unlimited version almost instantly to support and hope for continued updates to the app. On feature I would say right now is missing is a CMYK slider. Use this for graphic design and school so that feature would be clutch. Great work devs and looking forward to the updates and Mac app..Version: 1.0.6
✓ Really good app. One suggestionReally love this app. One thing that would make it even better is the ability to support gradients..Version: 2.0.5
✓ Color accessibility info would be nice!Love the app! It would be neat if I could get WCAG contrast scores so that I can check my palletes for accessible colors..Version: 1.0.1
✓ Really needs eyedropper color pickerIt can import and choose colors every way you can imagine except for the way you would likely expect. there isn't a way to simply pick a color that is in other app windows. wel, there is a way. screenshot it, then import the screenshot and it will pick all of the colors for you. that's incredibly cool but most times i want the color of a specific pixel in another window. it will easily be a 5-star app, once it has a simple eyedropper color picker..Version: 1.1.7
✓ Simple Palette Capture and Library AppLove this app, simple to use, clean UI, available across different devices, can export palette to Procreate, and plus can generate wallpaper!.Version: 2.1.2
✓ Wishing for an eyedrop tool :(Really wish this had an eyedropper tool.Version: 1.1.5
✓ I’ve needed this all my lifeGreat for storing website colour scheme hex codes, group for colours for a design your working on. Just perfect. Thank you! Now we need it in Mac!!.Version: 1.0.1
✓ Good could be Better if it had Pantone Palettes as a reference tooI was looking for a means to convert Pantone palettes to an HSB palette, and was hoping Pastel might be one option. It’ still very useful, but not as useful as it could be for my needs..Version: 2.2.4
✓ The bestSo many colours to pick from.Version: 1.1.8
✓ So well designed...Lovely design in the app - What else would you expect from something aimed at designers?! Really intuitive to use, and genuinely useful. Can’t wait for the Mac app..Version: 1.0.5
✓ Great yet easy to use !Great Little helper app for the color portion of my software development workflow. Free version is really great and does everything I want. App is only 1.5 mb which is super convenient !.Version: 1.1
✓ Great app, but some errors.This app has great color palettes to create and to choose from, but there is a little problem on choosing the colors on the color wheel. When I go to colors and tapping Cayenne, Eggplant, and Maraschino, is does not show the location of the colors on the color wheel. It shows the colors, but does not go to the right spot. It think is is a bug or a slight error. I hope anyone can fix the issue and keep up the great work..Version: 1.1.2
✓ Fantastic color palette!Was looking for an alternative to something that Adobe offer's across there apps and this is it! Let me tell you, it allows you to save your palettes and sync across your iCloud library for use on other devices. Love every part of it..Version: 2.2.3
✓ Beautiful appThis app is excellent with the only downside being that widgets don’t work correctly for me - they don’t seem to select palettes right..Version: 2.1.3
✓ Wallpaper generation is radAs someone who just wants high-res, eye-catching color-swirls on my many screens, the ability to easily set a color palette and generate wallpapers based on them is wonderful. Thanks for the app!.Version: 2.1.3
✓ Good appVery good app to get colours right for a drawing. Good for digital or on paper.Version: 1.1.5
✓ It was .....interesting.....I was expecting more of a coloring game but I will except it.Version: 1.1.5
✓ Perfect for What I Needed!This lightweight app is exactly what I was seeking: A quick color picker and keeps track of Palettes, Themes and Collections..Version: 2.2.5
✓ Can't figure out how to add to menu bar in macOS 13Any thoughts?.Version: 2.1.8
✓ The palette app I’ve been searching forFor years, I’ve had a thing for saving colour palettes, whether from apps, websites or ones I’ve generated myself. At first, I kept them in a spreadsheet. I have tried countless other apps but was always disappointed to find they would only generate palettes from images, or limited every palette to a fixed number of colours. But Pastel is basically perfect. A couple of (minor) features I would love: 1) a kind of ‘smart’ collection under Library like Recent containing all custom palettes (eg My Palettes), and 2) option to choose the default way to add new colours, eg. instead of the colour wheel, I would prefer to default to the second view as I always add new colours via hex code. Have just happily purchased the full version for unlimited palettes; thank you for creating the app I always wished existed 🎨❤️ EDIT: Just to acknowledge and thank you for the update including suggestion #2 - so many taps saved! I already rated you 5 stars so ⭐️++.Version: 1.1.2
✓ YES!I love that the app is across my devices. As a visual artist, it makes it really easy for me to capture a pallet and transfer it between my different apps on iPad and Mac, and when I need to use it on windows I can export the file. Super simple app that I believe is worth the modest price! Thanks for the tool i never realized I needed!.Version: 1.1.5
✓ Brilliantly simple but slightly lackingWidget stuck on 'loading' forever (but is forgivable only a few days into big sur) Would really love to see alpha channel options for transparency and an easier way to grab colour codes (single click to copy to clipboard would be fantastic) edit: omg just found the import photo tool - this is the best thing ever! 😱.Version: 1.1.5
✓ Great and simpleLove the simplicity of it. As a feature request, I’d like to propose a shortcut action to pick a colour (probably in-app) from a theme, or by using the colour wheel..Version: 1.0.1
✓ Exemplary palette utilityDoes 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..Version: 2.2.3
✓ This app is the BESTI have really enjoyed using this app for my video projects and arts and it just works is awesome.Version: 1.1.5
✓ Didn’t know I needed it.If you do a lot of brand-related visual work (from PDFs to websites), you’ll know that keeping track of colours from place to place is a necessary annoyance. This little utility makes it simple and easy. Couldn’t ask for more..Version: 1.0.1
✓ A handy way to collect colour palettesA very well designed app - fantastic that it's now available across iOS, iPadOS and Mac, so now I have my colours to hand wherever I might need them. Attention to detail is top class in this app - eg drag/drop colours to/from other apps. Wonderful!.Version: 1.1
✓ My goto for colourA very handy tool when doing web (or any design) highly recommend for designers and developers..Version: 2.2.3
✓ Great AppI just gave you 5 stars because I think your app is amazing. I just wonder how to erase a color I added to a certain palette?.Version: 1.1.8
✓ Amazing app but one flawThis app is great for those who need color palettes and palette ideas, especially for procreate. You can even get a palette by importing a photo! I have one issue though. You can have a palette widget, and it will ask you to put the name of the palette you want to use. It can be a nice decoration, especially if you want to display a certain aesthetic palette or a palette Pride flag. No matter now many times I enter or change the name, the right palette won’t come up! Maybe you can change the way we change the palette in widgets so that we can visibly see which one we are choosing. Just an idea, but great app otherwise!.Version: 1.1.8
✓ Didn't know I needed this app until now!Great way to collect color themes. Wish I could name colors though. A bit buggy here and there; seems like color blocks should act like files in finder do with selection, dragging, copying, etc..Version: 1.1.1
✓ Very good!I was pleasantly surprised with this app. Highly recommend!.Version: 1.1.5
✓ Just about perfect, but -I would really love to have a color picker. I poked around for a bit but couldn't find one. Other than that, this app is perfect for organizing color palettes..Version: 1.1.5
✓ Amazing color managementI love this app on the iPad and I’m so happy that it made it to the mac!.Version: 1.1
✓ Really shows what an iPad app can doTitle says it all.Version: 1.0.1
✓ PastelI saw this app on app of the day, i struggle with making nice colours and these suit my drawings so much! You can import them to procreate. One thing that might be nice is being able to import it to other drawing apps like for eg. Ibis Paint X or Adobe sketch BUT REMEMBER you can still copy the hex codes so u still can import the colours just not as easily . That’s really all, but this app is amazing! I definitely recommend it especially if you have procreate!.Version: 1.1.5
✓ Should be built in by AppleThis app is so good, feels like colour palettes should be built into the system with this app as the frontend..Version: 1.0.1
✓ Wallpapers aren’t saving, some distortedI was really excited following the development of the update that allows more styles of wallpaper generation. However I’m running into a couple of issues on my iPhone 13 Pro. The wallpaper images no longer save to my device. The reference cards still save just fine, but the app will let me “save image” for the wallpaper but nothing happens and the app resumes as normal. The other issue I’m running into is that both the Ball Pit and Pyramid styles don’t produce great images when set to the native phone resolution. The images displayed seem to be really zoomed in, so much so that I can see the artefacting on the image near the edges of the 3D objects, and a really heavy blur filter applied. These distortions aren’t present for landscape or square aspect ratios, but these images still can’t be saved..Version: 2.1.1
✓ If you need to pick an app to pick some colours, be sure to pick Pastel. It's a great picker.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..Version: 2.0.5
✓ Best pallette apps everThe best part is that it exports to procreate easily! and its free, id recommend this app to every artists if i could, thank you so much guys!.Version: 1.1.7
✓ Incredible for Web DesignLove using Pastel to manage color schemed across various websites I'm building. The sync features is great and the ability to drag a color screenshot right into the app is amazing..Version: 1.1.1
✓ Almost perfectIf you could add a way to display colour harmonies in their various facets that would make this the go to app for me. The presets are nice but the tried and tested harmonies and being able to select them easily would send this app to the A list. Thanks.Version: 2.0.5
✓ Nice but....I guess I just don’t understand the purpose of having just a plain colored widget that provides no information. If it could be used as a background with a clock or something I could understand it..Version: 1.1.2
✓ RecommendedI’m really enjoying the app. Love the integration with procreate..Version: 1.0.6
✓ Where have you been all my design life ( 3 weeks) 😁.I’ve only ever purchased an app straight away or within the first use, maybe handful of occasions. Normally I use and see if I need it or it gets left/deleted depending on the various other types of similar apps out there. The IAP is not needed from my point of view as I only managed a couple palettes so far and the 20 or so you get before needing to upgrade is plenty, sort of if you’re like me, so really you have a full functional app, now that’s generosity from the dev but I’m buying regardless as I want to not just support the dev but hopefully in time I’ll get better developed at designing and will need more colour palettes but either way it’s pennies and well worth it even if I never go over the free amount offered as standard anyway. Now this is one of those first time use I’m buying straight away apps. Amazingly simple, clean beautiful and full of everything you’d ever need from a colour picker, with so so many other functions thrown in. It does exactly what it says on the tin’ and with fluidity simplicity and a joy to use. Great work, great app. I’m having it.! Thanks..Version: 1.1.5
✓ Fantastic AppSteve always makes very high quality apps, and this is no exception..Version: 2.2.4
✓ Great App With One FlawThis is a fantastic app for building up a library of color palettes. It's got first-class organizational capabilities, allowing you to drop palettes into one or more collections, and plenty of ways to export your palettes either to visualize them or use them in software. The one thing it's missing is a URL scheme. If you want to navigate to a particular palette, you have to manually open the application and either browse or search for it. I'd love to be able to generate links to palettes, that I could either record in a notes application or attach via Hookmark, allowing me to jump directly to the linked-to palette..Version: 2.2
✓ Another great app from a great developerLove the simplicity. Takes advantage of modern iOS apis. Love it!.Version: 1.0.1
✓ Is perfectExactly what I needed for my creative workflow..Version: 1.1.7
✓ A Solid Color Palette Manager with a lot of PotentialAs a 1.0 release, this app functions well and can be an great addition to any designers toolkit, especially with the recent advancements of iPadOS. That being said, there are a few things I can see being improved. They are as follows: The color picker UI has an indicator at the bottom showing the selected color within the context of the palette. This is great, but it would be much more beneficial to be able to re-arrange the colors so that comparisons can be made between different colors within the relevant palette. When you tap on a color within a palette, there is a delay with the color wheel on iPhone. It jumps from the default position to the selected color. This is minor, but noticeable. On iPadOS, it can confusing being able to have two color wheels open at once (main in middle column, another on the right. Borders could be beneficial for dark colors on dark mode and light colors on light mode. Licorice for instance gets lost on a dark background. A feature to compare color contrast values would be incredibly beneficial for creating accessible palettes. The “Library” heading is missing on iPadOS. There is a bug when trying to open the right-column color picker UI while in iPad portrait..Version: 1.0.1
✓ Nice but needs iCloud syncOverall this is a great app but without exporting / importing or better yet iCloud sync support, it's not a yet pro-level but it has potential..Version: 2.0.6
✓ Love this appI love this app, it would be perfect if it had a color picker or an easier way to import colors..Version: 1.1.1
✓ Nice app with thoughtful featuresThis is a nice clean simple app for looking at and collecting collections of colors, and has lots of options for copying and pasting colors in different formats, which is exactly what i was looking for. the one thing i’d like it to also do is implement a widget with a color picker that you can leave on your home screen to choose and copy colors at any time..Version: 2.2.3
