User Reviews
Pros
- Pro version provides powerful color organization and is widely considered invaluable for design work.
- Strong palette management with easy storage, and cross-app sharing across tools/platforms.
- Photo-based color extraction works well and provides RGB/HEX codes (CMYK in some cases).
- Responsive developer support and quick fixes (e.g., IAP issues).
- Versatile tool that designers and artists find useful and intuitive when functioning.
Cons
- Base version limits: only 3 palettes and 5 colors, encouraging upgrade.
- Frequent bugs and crashes, especially during photo capture and color picking, reducing reliability.
- Poor onboarding with little or no instructions, making the app hard to learn.
- Color accuracy and preview issues (black background distorts colors; discrepancies in outputs).
- Some UI/UX issues (dragging colors not working; suspicious startup password prompt).
Recent reviews
I tested it on a photo with a large pink flower in the foreground and light greens and grays in the background. The 5-color palette generated had black, light green, and 3 identical medium grays. Worthless. I think it used to work the last time I tried it. I was thinking of upgrading, but won’t now.

Upgraded through the app so can’t leave a review under Palettes Pro.
This IS an amazing color organizer. Everything you could want plus more. Have tried many other similar apps but have now deleted them!
Palettes Pro is going to be an invaluable tool for my surface pattern projects.
Thank you! I so hope the developer continues to support this wonderful app😃
