Timeline
August - Ongoing 2025
Overview
Palette is a professional color design application that combines the creative freedom of an infinite canvas with advanced color management features.
Originally created as a fun color experimentation tool for my girlfriend who wanted something to play with colors and test different combinations.
Core Concept
The unique combination of infinite canvas freedom with professional color management features makes it stand out from both simple color picker tools and complex design software. It's designed for users who need more than basic color pickers but want an intuitive interface.
Infinite Canvas Workspace
Unlimited workspace that adapts to your creative needs.
The infinite canvas workspace provides unlimited zoomable and pannable space where colors can be arranged freely without constraints. A clean, minimal interface that puts colors first with intuitive drag-and-drop interactions for seamless creative exploration.
