Four ways to build a palette

Palettes out of math, not swatch libraries.

The Palette tab holds four generators behind the chips on the edge of the well. Switch between them and the whole panel re-tools itself — different field, different dials, same five swatches. What you are dragging below is the panel's own code, running in your browser.

Harmony wheel
Five handles on the color disk, linked by the relationship you choose. Drag one and the rest follow.
Color sphere
A harmony ring cut through the color solid in OKLCh. Drag to spin and tilt it.
Chaos
Palette points riding a strange attractor — golden angle, rose curve, Lissajous, Clifford. Drag for time and chaos.
Spectral waves
Real spectral power distributions swept around a wavelength dial, integrated against the CIE observer and converted back to sRGB.

“Apply palette to selection” recolors this shape, its outline, and the text — the three things the palette touches in a real document — on the same 60–30–10 split. Click it again to reshuffle which color lands where.

Built for flow

Color the selection—not one layer at a time.

01 / REAL TIME

Recolor while you drag

Every selected layer updates continuously, then lands as one clean undo step when you release.

02 / MIXED LAYERS

Keep the structure intact

Shape fills and strokes, pixel layers, and text change together without flattening the document.

03 / PALETTES

Build five-color palettes

Create useful color relationships on the wheel, tune their lightness and spacing, then bring them into your work.
