Color palette within AE

Mr. Beall

Here is a Solution for this. (may be this will work for you)

Go to Edit>Preference>General

Check ” Use system Color Picker” Option.

Now you will get default color picker where you can save your color value by using “Add to Custom Colors”.

I also thought it was annoying so I created a color palette tool that works pretty well for my needs:

Palette Pocket for Chrome

Hopefully you’ll find it useful too!

I use to import in AFX, a color palette comp that I have made. No plugin, no script, free download.

Man, this thread is old! I landed here a while back with the same problem and no real solution, so I ended up building one.

It’s a script called Hextractor. You can paste any text with hex codes, or extract colors directly from shape layers, text, solids, and color controls. It builds a clean palette, and you can save it or generate color guides in-comp.

If it helps, here it is: https://aescripts.com/hextractor/<br data-start=”699″ data-end=”702″> Let me know what you think.
