Pocket Palette Reviews

I love PocketPalette and had it for awhile to keep pallets all in one place and go back to them as reference for designing, but i’ve recently just opened PocketPalette and it just randomly deleted every single one of my pallets, and now I have to start over. I haven’t deleted PocketPalette or anything it just restarted which is super annoying. now that i have to start everything over :(

I have always wanted to create palettes from landscapes and animals’ colorations. The ability to capture colors from my photos is just what I’ve been looking for! One thing is I can’t figure out how to delete unwanted palettes. I also wish the titles were visible without having to click on the individual palettes. Otherwise, I’m having fun with PocketPalette .

There seems to not be a delete option if one could be added that would be amazing to have that so you can delete pallets that you don’t want

I was looking for an app that allowed color picking and pallet making. I downloaded this and used it and not only did it do what I expected but it offered more!!!! If you are putting together a pallet after the first two colors PocketPalette will offer suggestions for the next coordinating color. You can save your favorites, to PocketPalette or your own files. You can alter suggested pallets. You can pinpoint a spot on a picture and find that exact color and the color is given in three different formats maybe more but I only use HEX. And it is SIMPLE to use and has a back button if you goofed up. I had downloaded three other apps to try…..nope I deleted them after playing around with this one today.
Thank you developer, my worry is no more and I can easily get creative now!

PocketPalette is truly amazing, and I love being able to customize my colors to the extreme! My one humble request would be to add a swiping feature onto the pallet. So that we could scroll through our colors with a swipe of left or right, as opposed to making a whole new pallet for each color.

An excellent way to develop your own unique color palette, quick and easy! I always wanted to match the colors my eyes were seeing to particular codes that I could use in presentations and other imagery, and PocketPalette does just that.

Finally found the perfect app for all my color and palette needs. It’s easy, well to manage, simple, clean and works so well. I’ve long searched for the right one and here it is. Definitely buying this dev a coffee. :)

I’m a little taken aback when an app is as intuitive as this. You want to make a new palette? Click +. You want to have four colors? Click +. You want to edit HSB instead of RGB? Click HSB tab. You want to view your palette full screen? Click 👁. This is insane and the developer is a god. Thank you so much.

PocketPalette is beautifully designed and super useful if you want to test out colors before using them in a project. I honestly can’t imagine a better app to serve this purpose. Props to the developers and designers who made this! I recommend going with the fremium model if it gets more popular.

Thanks!

I recently downloaded this to find the perfect palette for my wedding. It works great, but I cannot figure out how to delete a palette. I made a few to compare and now I don’t want 5 of very similar palettes anymore. Also, I want to reorganize the palettes so that my favorite is at the top of the list. Otherwise great!

PocketPalette is really user friendly. I knew how to use it immediately! The options for picking colors were great since I often want to get the exact RGB levels rather than the ballpark. I’m moving soon and have begun making palettes for every room. Having lots of fun! Great app!

I love how simple PocketPalette is, and yet has just what I have been needing to keep track of my design pallets. And I really appreciate how responsive the developer has been in it’s evolution. In future updates, I would love to see a feature that gives us the ability to create a new folder while in the color picking mode, or the sample mode. While creating a pallet for a project, I often happen upon a random pallet that I really like, but that is not right for the current project. I would love to be able to keep it for future reference and then continue on with the project. As it stands right now, it looks like you have to create a folder ahead of time. I would love to be able to create folders on the fly while in the color picker. Just a suggestion!

I needed to get a hex color from a picture that I had taken on my phone. PocketPalette allows you to either take a picture or use an existing picture to grab a hex value. PocketPalette also allows you to compare colors to see contrasts. The developer also seems to update PocketPalette very regularly. Also did I mention that it’s free!

Great app - You can sample colors from your photos to create color schemes, which as a designer was reason enough for me to install. Provides the hex, rgb, and hsb values for each color. The interface is straightforward and took no time to figure out. All for the amazing price of free!

Protip: While editing a palette, you can hold your finger and drag colors to reorder them. Saved me some time!

Very easy to use and simple. No directions provided, no directions needed. You can create color palettes (if that’s your thing) or browse other people’s.

One thing I’d change: I don’t see a shuffle button. It’s be pretty cool if you could randomly browse other popular palettes to help select themes for people who are as indecisive as myself.

Other than that, perfect app. As soon as I saw it, I was literally amazed that such a clean, elegant, and modern app is 100% free. I don’t usually write reviews, but that last bit made me do it.

Everybody has their preferences when it comes to palette apps; and personally, I don’t want to see OTHER peoples palettes (OPP). Some apps do that, making it a socal feed of blah OPP; you have really no creative flexibility, let alone a way to organize your painstakingly created palettes efficiently.

PocketPalette nails everything one would want in color palette creation and management; creating, saving, grouping, and quick access.

It seems to utilize the backbone of iOS’s native files app to save your palette files, which is as good as it gets. I mean, the way you organize and save is entirely up to you- not a candy coated UI, and limit due to premium purchases.

If you want to quick pull up a palette to view it as a portable swatch, boom! You can. It pops right up. And display the hex, rgb, hsb, & cymk value accordingly.

The developer deserves more than a coffee. How bout a dinner 😉?

I’m a hobbyist artist whose preferred style is using harmonious color groups (aka. pleasing-to-the-eye color palettes)! PocketPalette is perfect especially for one that’s completely free!!! I love playing around with the colors and making palettes from scratch as a downtime, and PocketPalette provides all the tools you need, including a really easy to use eyedrop tool.

The only suggestion would be to have a way to organize your palettes further (subfolders/categories you can customize). As it is now, it’s still really awesome! Having a way to organize my palettes even more would be a cherry on top since the way they’re laid out can affect how you choose to use them.

Overall, 5/5!

I wrote a review several months ago expressing my love of PocketPalette, and I just want to provide an update. It’s still great, and I still use it constantly! It gets the job done and it’s very easy to use.
I requested the possibility of adding landscape mode, and now there’s landscape mode feature. You can also now organize your palettes into collections/folders for easy reference. I like that PocketPalette evolves thoughtfully, without any major changes that require a significant re-learning curve (a pitfall with some other apps out there).

Ultimately, it feels like the developer really cares about their work, and I really appreciate that.

This developer clearly has a knack for design. PocketPalette is really quick and easy to use, and it surfaces the information you want quickly.

I was looking for an app that would help me design palettes based on some of the standard color scheme formulas (like Neutral, Analogous, Clash, Triadic, etc.) and would like to see this added, preferably with a visualization of the relationship between the colors shown on one of those circular color diagrams. I'm sure there are other apps out there that already do this, but this dev prioritizes fluidity of experience to a greater extent than most, so I'll keep it on my phone and see what comes out in later versions.

• Free with no ads

This is a good-quality app, suitable for anyone who wants or needs to create color palettes at home or in the Great Outdoors. Highly recommended.
