3D Color Picker earns its place in the superhive library for an unusual approach to color work: adjusting colors directly in the viewport through a cube-shaped HSV palette, paired with a Shaker that suggests randomized combinations.
3D Color Picker places its own GUI in the Blender 3D viewport. Pickers, shown as colored balls, sit inside a cube-shaped Palette where each XYZ axis represents HSV: moving a picker along X adjusts hue, along Y adjusts saturation, and along Z corresponds to lightness. In the current version this applies to the Base Color of the Principled BSDF node in Material mode, and the colors of lights can be adjusted too. Several materials can be manipulated at the same time.
The Shaker feature generates random color combinations with a single click. Its Replace function lets you specify a range of random values for hue, saturation and lightness individually, and request light, dark or bright combinations. The Offset function adds a small random number to the current combination, which helps fine-tune a set found with Replace.
Built by IYOYI, the add-on is released under the GPL license and supports Blender 3.3 through 3.6. A demo video is available on the developer's page.
3D Color Picker is best for blender artists picking colors for materials and lights, from beginners deciding on a first color to professionals looking to break out of a repetitive color set.
3D Color Picker is completely free to download and use.
3D Color Picker lists support for Blender 3.3, 3.4, 3.5 and 3.6, and it is distributed under the GPL license. The version 1.1.0 update, released on 7 December 2021, also noted that the add-on works correctly on Blender 3.0. If you are running a newer or older Blender release, check the developer's page to confirm current compatibility before installing, since supported versions can change over time.
3D Color Picker can adjust the colors of lights, a capability added in the version 1.1.0 update on 7 December 2021. Beyond lights, the current version applies to the Base Color of the Principled BSDF node in Material mode, and it can manipulate several materials at the same time. Colors are edited in the 3D viewport by moving pickers within the cube-shaped Palette rather than through separate color fields.
3D Color Picker includes a Shaker feature that creates random color combinations with a single click. Its Replace function lets you set a range of random values for hue, saturation and lightness individually, and request light, dark or bright combinations. The Offset function instead adds a small random number to your current combination, so once you have found a set you like with Replace, you can use Offset to fine-tune it.
3D Color Picker is listed as free in this catalog, and it is released under the GPL license. Licensing and any pricing can change over time, so check the developer's page for the current terms before downloading. The add-on comes from the developer IYOYI, and a demo video is also available on the developer's page if you want a closer look before deciding.
