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!
Happy to answer any and all of your questions!

This looks nice, but I don't think I'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.
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 "create a palette from a single color". 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.
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/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's easier to see that it'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?
by tobr on 4/27/2021, 4:51:15 PM
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'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.

There is gpick[1] for Linux users
by daniel-thompson on 4/27/2021, 4:13:32 PM
The product looks interesting. The website is pretty aggressive about trying to open the App Store.
What is the difference between the Lite version and the paid version?

Linux support?

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:
https://www.tailwindshades.com
https://tailwind.simeongriggs.dev
https://javisperez.github.io/tailwindcolorshades/
https://tailwind-color-picker.jessarcher.com
Also, maybe consider hosting on Netlify or Vercel or Github Pages, or anything that doesn't require a server to spin up for a static site.
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.
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've since had trouble finding one that is as good.
