• Kolorist now appears in English on devices that aren’t set up in Norwegian, Swedish or Danish. If you have chosen a language for Kolorist yourself in Settings, it is kept.

Kolorist 1.3.1 takes your palette all the way to a design system. • Design system from a palette: roles for accent, neutral and status give colours for light and dark mode, with and without increased contrast. See them on buttons, fields, switches and alerts, with the contrast for each colour pair and the WCAG requirement. Add your own roles, such as info. • Export the design system as colour sets for app development, design tokens with aliases and one file per mode, and CSS with light and dark mode and Display P3 – with a README that explains the system. Or share it as a link: recipients see the components and colours in their browser. • Tone scale in Studio, next to Colour and Harmony: steps 50–950 with the same contrast for every hue – step 400 holds at least 3:1 and step 600 at least 4.5:1 against white. • Text colours in the palette if you want them: one near white and one near black, tinted with the palette’s hue. • New contrast check: choose WCAG 2.2 or LRV. The figure and the strictest requirement the colour does not meet are shown at the top. • Contrast between surfaces with a choice of method: LRV difference, Weber or Michelson. • The difference between two colours with ΔE2000, ΔL*, ΔC* and Δh – copy one value or all of them as a table. • Copy colours as RGB values for CAD, BIM and video, and as linear values for 3D apps. • Pick a colour with the camera or from a photo right from the colour fields – or edit it in Studio and bring it back. • New harmonies: monochromatic and tone path, where the hue arcs through lightness and saturation – and Goethe’s colour wheel. • Palette groups: gather palettes in groups, and print, save and copy whole groups. Import ASE files as palettes. • Reorder colours by dragging them, and show a colour from anywhere. • Source colour space for CMYK and RGB, paper white and a choice of viewing condition for the display. • A more focused set of models: the colour model and colour wheel with hue, value and chroma have been removed.

Kolorist 1.2 brings light into the equation. • See in light: see colours and whole palettes as they appear in the light where they will be used – your own viewing conditions or standard viewing conditions for graphic arts, workplaces, schools and museums. • Palettes in light: see each colour on screen and in the light side by side, and which colour pairs become hard to tell apart in dim light or under fluorescent and LED lighting. • Measure the light where you are with the camera, and save it as a viewing condition. With a grey card or reference card the illuminance is measured too. • Colours as they really are (beta): compensate the colours you pick for the light they were photographed in, with a grey card or reference card – in photos too. • Text contrast right in your palettes: each colour as text on the others, with WCAG requirements. • LRV and luminance contrast in the chosen light, for buildings and interiors. • Share as link: colours, palettes, gradients and harmonies – recipients without the app see the colours in their browser. • Save as: choose formats by where the files will be used, and save them to a folder – including OneDrive – or share them. Now also snippets with editable gradients for layout apps. • Filament colours for 3D printing: more than 2,200 colours from 150 manufacturers, most of them measured – find the nearest filament. • New harmonies: analogous with a complementary accent, triad and square – and natural lightness order, where yellows become lighter and blues darker, as in nature. • Munsell in the steps of the Munsell book. • Gradients are copied with fewer stops, so they are easy to edit further. • Add colours right in the list, collapse sections you don't use, and shake to undo.

Kolorist 1.1 reaches more disciplines – including architecture and interiors – and makes working with palettes faster. • Colour libraries: import your own colour charts in ASE, ACO or ACB with named tones. Colours, tones and harmonies are locked to the library’s tones, and Studio shows the tone names. • Munsell: a new colour model with hue in steps of 2.5, value and chroma – and the Munsell and Hering colour wheels for harmonies. • Harmony: see the whole harmony in the chosen colour space with values or tone names, with the base colour clearly marked. • LRV: light reflectance value and surface contrast to BS 8300 and NS 11001 – for buildings and interiors. • Rec. 2020 and ProPhoto RGB as built-in colour spaces. • Your own ICC profiles and colour libraries are gathered in one place, imported in one step and can be deleted in the app. • Palettes at hand on large iPads: move colours where you need them with drag and drop. • Colours you pick from the camera and photos are kept until you decide to save them. • Faster work with palettes: use a colour directly, and critique, check contrast and print whole palettes. • Undo everywhere, including ⌘Z on a keyboard. • Panels can be collapsed and reordered, and values hidden and sorted – the layout syncs. • Better palettes from value words: built on harmony principles with legible contrast. • A palette critique now shows what it is based on. • Gradients in palettes, and “Copy to” for gradients: Figma, Sketch, Affinity, Illustrator, InDesign, Photoshop, Pages, Keynote, Numbers, CSS and SwiftUI. • Print a palette on A4 – CIELab swatches with names and values – or save it as a PDF.
