Why we like it

Earns its place in the Superhive library for combining RGB and CMYK color handling with one-click material application, covering both digital and print-oriented Blender workflows.

What is Adobe Style Color Input?

Adobe Style Color Input is a color management toolset for Blender aimed at artists, designers, and print/digital creators. It supports both RGB (0-255) and CMYK (0-100%) workflows with automatic real-time conversion between modes, and lets you toggle between RGB-only, CMYK-only, or side-by-side views for hybrid work. The add-on is presented for creators who work across Blender and Adobe Creative Suite tools such as Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign.

Colors can be assigned to objects, faces in edit mode, or lights with a single button, and the add-on automatically creates optimized materials or updates existing ones. It includes alpha and transparency support for materials and light softness, live channel previews for individual color components, and a combined final color swatch. A Remove Materials option clears materials from selected objects, and undo/redo is supported for all operations.

The tools are accessed from the RGB&CMYK panel in the 3D View sidebar, where you select items, adjust sliders or use the color picker, then apply RGB or CMYK values. It works in both Object Mode and Edit Mode, and covers the Cycles and Eevee render engines.
