Palettes

Save colors into color palettes to name and organize them. You can sync your palettes with iCloud across Mac and iOS, and export them to different file types or languages!

Editing Palettes

The palettes tab is where you can name, reorder and edit colors and palettes. View the palette tab by clicking the icon in ColorSlurp's toolbar:

You can reorder palettes by clicking and dragging the arrow button on each palette. Right-clicking on a palette will give you the option to rename, duplicate, edit, or export it.

The individual colors of each palette can also be reordered by dragging and dropping, or dragged to other palettes.

Clicking anywhere on a palette will open the palette editor. From there you can organize and edit the colors in the palette. Double-click on a color to edit and rename it, or select colors to drag and drop or delete them:

Exporting palettes

ColorSlurp lets you export palettes to different file types or languages, including JSON, CSS, PDF, ASE, and more!

To export a palette, click the three dots in the palette editor and choose export, or right-click on the palette and choose export.

You can then choose which format to export your palette as in the dropdown. You'll see a like preview of what the export will look like, and you can even select and copy the text directly from the preview so you don't have to export it as a file!

Syncing with iCloud

To sync your palettes with iCloud, check the "Sync palettes with iCloud" checkbox in ColorSlurp's general preferences on Mac and iOS. Once enabled, ColorSlurp will automatically sync your palettes between all of your devices.

Troubleshooting iCloud Sync

If you're having trouble syncing your palettes with iCloud, you can try the following:

Syncing on Mac and iOS requires ColorSlurp PRO, so make sure it shows as purchased in ColorSlurp's preferences on both devices.
Turn on iCloud sync in ColorSlurp's settings/preference. Go to: ColorSlurp > Settings > General > "Sync Collections with iCloud".
Make sure you're signed in with the same iCloud account across Mac and iOS.
Quit and relaunch both apps, then allow a minute or two for them to update. (Occasionally iCloud sync can be slow).
Try restarting your Mac/iPhone.
