A Way to Organize Color Swatches
- 17 hours ago
Randy, I really like your idea, you're spot on that one-click copy is the bit that actually matters day to day, and I feel your pain on what happened to Kuler. Judy, I've done the screenshots-with-hex-codes trick too; always works, and does what it says on the tin!
I built my own tool some time ago. Same principle, click a swatch and the code's on your clipboard, but you add and organise everything in the browser, palettes per brand or project, hex or RGB copy, bulk-paste a whole list of codes at once, and (in Chrome or Edge) an eyedropper that grabs colours from anywhere on your screen, brand PDFs included. It saves automatically in your browser, with export/import for backups or for sharing a brand palette file with your team.
Free, no sign-up, nothing leaves your browser: Swatch Library
If you prefer Randy's keep-it-on-the-desktop approach, save the page (Ctrl+S) and it works exactly the same as a local file.
Thanks for keeping inspiring, both.
Sweet!
I've created PPTs with the color codes to match Storyline themes. It's just sceenshots of the theme with the hext codes in text boxes next to the colors. For example:
This requires selecting and copying text to get the hex-code, which is better than retyping it—but not a cool as your one-click-to-copy solution.
Thanks for sharing this. 👍
