PaletteWright

Capture colors with camera or Apple Pencil, build accessible multi-mode design systems, and export palettes, tokens, code, and Figma Variables.

Turn the world around you into an accessible color system you can ship.

PaletteWright is a touch-first color picker, palette builder, accessibility checker, design-token editor, and color compiler for iPad. Capture inspiration with the camera, shape it with touch or Apple Pencil, validate it against real interface requirements, and hand it off as design tokens, code, palettes, and production-ready files.

CAPTURE COLOR VISUALLY • Take a photo with the iPad camera or choose an image from Photos. • Extract colors by row, column, stripe, dominant colors, or a movable sampling region. • Resize and reposition the region, then review extracted swatches before importing. • Import websites, palette files, CSS, JSON, tokens, or pasted Hex, RGB, Display-P3, and OKLCH values. • Start from Capture Colors, Fix a Palette, or Compile a Project with guided onboarding.

BUILD WITH TOUCH AND APPLE PENCIL • Place and adjust gradient stops precisely with Pencil or touch. • Edit, sort, distribute, and lock palette stops. • Generate perceptual palettes with the interactive OKLCH Harmony Wheel. • Create primitives, semantic roles, component aliases, and project-specific custom roles. • Compare and edit Light, Dark, and High Contrast modes side by side. • Drag colors between role cells and review the result in live interface previews.

VALIDATE ACCESSIBILITY • Audit WCAG contrast across text, surfaces, borders, and components. • Review Auto-Fix AA proposals with before/after colors and contrast changes. • Apply only the repairs you approve while preserving the source palette. • Inspect color-vision simulations, gradients, component previews, and export readiness.

SHIP FROM ANYWHERE • Export CSS, Tailwind, shadcn/ui, SwiftUI, Swift Assets, Flutter, React Native, DTCG tokens, Figma Variables JSON, ASE, PDF, audit reports, and more. • Drag a palette into compatible apps as an Adobe Swatch Exchange (ASE) file. • Share files through the iPad share sheet and continue full folder/package workflows on Mac. • Open Capture, Fix, Compile, Roles, or a specific palette using Shortcuts, Spotlight, and deep links.

AN IPAD WORKSPACE THAT SCALES The five-stage Source, Build, Roles, Validate, and Ship workspace keeps complex work understandable. A pinned preview and adaptive inspector preserve context across landscape, Split View, and Stage Manager. Organize palettes into projects, keep persistent undo/redo, create named releases with changelogs and rollback, and sync through iCloud Drive with local-first conflict protection and automatic recovery backups.

LOCAL-FIRST BY DESIGN Core capture, editing, validation, and export workflows run locally. Your library stays on your devices unless you choose iCloud Drive synchronization or explicitly share an export.

FREE AND PRO Free has no trial clock and includes unlimited camera, photo, paste, website, and palette-file imports, unlimited core exports, up to 10 custom or imported palettes, and one organized project. Pro unlocks unlimited palettes and projects, multi-mode token systems, semantic and component workflows, AA repair, advanced previews, releases, Figma handoff, and every production export. Monthly, annual, and lifetime options are available.

Available in English, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Simplified Chinese, and Spanish.

Capture the color. Build the system. Ship with confidence.
