Why we like it

Node Color Palette covers multiple node editors, including Sverchok and Serpens, in a single add-on rather than a single graph type.

What is Node Color Palette?

Node Color Palette is an add-on for Blender that changes the color of nodes in any node graph. It works across the shading editor, compositing editor, geometry nodes, and visual scripting editors including Sverchok and Serpens. The workflow is direct: select the nodes you want, then click the color of your choice to apply it.

The add-on addresses node graphs that grow complicated over time by letting you assign colors to organize them. Because it functions across the different editors listed, it covers a range of node-based work in a single tool rather than being tied to one graph type.

Node Color Palette is compatible with a wide span of Blender releases, from 2.9 through 4.3, and is available as a Blender extension. It is distributed as an add-on under the GPL license, and documentation is provided. A demo video is also available for those who want to see more before installing.

Who is Node Color Palette best for?

Node Color Palette is best for blender users working with node graphs who want to color-code nodes across shading, compositing, geometry nodes and visual scripting editors.

How much does Node Color Palette cost?

Node Color Palette is completely free to download and use.
