User Reviews

Pastel is praised for its clean UI and strong color organization, but reviews repeatedly flag reliability problems. Users report data loss where palettes vanish, unstable syncing and storage bugs, and image-based palette extraction failures with permission errors. Some note limited onboarding. Overall, the app excels at color management, but stability, data protection, and image-import reliability need improvement.

Pros

Intuitive, clean interface for viewing and organizing colors and palettes
Strong organization features: create palettes, collections, and color systems
Useful color picker with the ability to generate palettes from photos
Cross-device syncing (iCloud) for access across devices
Highly regarded by designers as a handy color-management tool

Cons

Palettes and palettes data frequently disappear or are deleted, causing data loss
Image import and palette extraction often fails, with permission errors or poor UX finding the source image
App stability issues: freezing, crashes, and buggy storage that can erase progress

Recent reviews

I get an exporting error when I try to import an image and it tells me I do not have permission for this image, even if I took the image myself from my camera.
