Get colour coordinated

Whether you’re designing a website, creating an app or perfecting an illustration, Pastel puts the same colour palettes at your fingertips across all your tools. Set up an unlimited number of palettes, organise them by project and sync them all across Pastel for Mac, iPhone and iPad.

Here are four ways Pastel can simplify even the most colourful creative processes:

In any app that uses the standard macOS colour picker, you can drag and drop to and from Pastel. No more copying hex values!

Copying colour values couldn’t be easier: control-click the colour in Pastel, then select your desired format: hex, RGB, Float, UIColor or SwiftUI. Pro tip: you can also Control-click an entire palette to copy all of its colour values.

To quickly create a swatch page with every colour in a palette (along with their hex values), choose File > Export > Export Reference Card. Or choose Export Image to create a reference card you can import into photo and illustration apps.

Love the colours in a particular photo or illustration? Drag the file into a new palette and Pastel will automatically extract the dominant colours. To add another colour from the image, drag your pointer over the colour, then click the Add button that appears.
