Palette Master stands out in the Blender library for keeping palette creation inside the app, feeding the Shader Editor, paint tools, and Image Editor directly. WSM Game Studio also donates 10% of earnings to the Blender Development Fund.
Palette Master: Color Theory Made Easy brings color theory into Blender. You pick one base color, choose a harmony scheme, and generate harmonious palettes complete with multiple tonal variations. Change the base color at any time and the whole palette updates instantly, so a full palette comes together in two clicks. The results are built on color theory rules rather than random presets.
Five harmony schemes are included: Complementary, Analogous, Triadic, Rectangular Tetradic, and Square Tetradic. Four tonal variations cover a Tailwind-based default plus shades, tones, and tints. Colors can be dragged and dropped straight into the Shader Editor, Brush Settings, or anywhere else Blender uses colors, and the add-on works across the 3D Viewport (Vertex Paint and Texture Paint), the Shader Editor, and the Image Editor.
Distributed as a Blender add-on under the GPL license, it is compatible with Blender 4.5 through 5.1 and supports the Cycles and Eevee render engines. WSM Game Studio donates 10% of all earnings to the Blender Development Fund.
Palette Master: Color Theory Made Easy is best for blender artists who want to build harmonious color palettes for painting and shading without manual tweaking.
Palette Master: Color Theory Made Easy is completely free to download and use.
Palette Master is compatible with Blender 4.5 through 5.1 and is distributed as a Blender add-on that is listed as Blender Extension compatible. It is listed for use with the Cycles and Eevee render engines. If your Blender install falls within the 4.5 to 5.1 range, the add-on is built to run in it. For versions outside that window, or to confirm the current compatibility details, check the developer's page on Superhive before installing. Keeping to the supported version range is the safest way to avoid install issues.
Palette Master includes five harmony schemes: Complementary, Analogous, Triadic, Rectangular Tetradic, and Square Tetradic. On top of those, it offers four tonal variations: a Tailwind-based default alongside Shades, Tones, and Tints. You start from a single base color, choose one of the harmony schemes, and the add-on generates a harmonious palette with those tonal variations. The results are built on color theory rules rather than random presets, and changing the base color updates the entire palette instantly.
Palette Master lets you drag and drop colors directly into the Shader Editor, Brush Settings, or anywhere else Blender uses colors. The add-on works across the 3D Viewport for Vertex Paint and Texture Paint, the Shader Editor, and the Image Editor. That means a palette you generate can move straight into materials or painting without copying values by hand. Whichever of those workspaces you're in, the generated colors are available to drop in place.
Palette Master is listed as free in this catalog, and it is released under the GPL license. For current licensing terms and any support details, check the developer's page on Superhive. It's worth noting that WSM Game Studio donates 10% of all earnings to the Blender Development Fund, which helps support ongoing Blender development. Because pricing and licensing can change over time, confirm the latest terms with the developer before you download.
