Pigment earns its place in the aescripts library by covering palette creation, editing and export in one After Effects tool, and version 1.2.0 extends it with a gradient effect and web export formats.
Pigment is a color palette tool for After Effects, built by Filthy Baguette. It lets you create, use and customize color palettes, with a palette generator, a color harmony tool, and an eyedropper for picking colors. You can change individual colors, hold them in place with lockboxes, and save, load, import or export palettes.
Version 1.2.0 adds a gradient workflow through the Pigment Ramp effect, which builds linear or radial gradients of up to nine colors with nine built-in presets and customization. A web export menu copies palettes in RGB, HSL, HSV, HEX or CMYK, and display settings let you hide tools. The release also includes a colorblind preview shortcut, HSB sorting, and a reroll button that shows the current palette number after generation.
Earlier updates introduced Project Sync, which links a composition's assets to a palette for automatic updates, along with colorblindness support and state that persists across projects. Pigment supports After Effects 2026, 2025, 2024, 2023 and 2022. A demo video is available.
Pigment is best for after Effects artists who want to create, customize and reuse color palettes, and turn them into gradients.
Pigment is completely free to download and use.
Pigment runs in After Effects 2026, 2025, 2024, 2023 and 2022, covering several recent releases. Version 1.2.0 also fixed an issue that prevented Project Sync from working on non-English versions of After Effects, so localized installs are covered too. If you work across multiple machines or a mix of AE versions, check the developer's page to confirm the current requirements before installing this palette tool.
Pigment Ramp is an effect added in version 1.2.0 that turns a palette into a gradient. It can create linear or radial gradients of up to nine colors, ships with nine built-in presets, and allows customization. The gradient tool works alongside Pigment's palette features, so colors you generate or save can be carried into the ramp. See the developer's page for full details on the effect's options.
Pigment includes a web export menu, added in version 1.2.0, that copies your palette in a chosen format for web and app integration. It supports RGB, HSL, HSV, HEX and CMYK, so you can move colors into other design or development tools. Alongside export, Pigment can import and export palettes for sharing or creating backups. For the latest on export options, refer to the developer's page.
Pigment is listed as free in this catalog. It comes from developer Filthy Baguette and is available through the aescripts library. Because licensing terms can change over time, the developer's page is the best place to confirm the current cost and usage rights before you download and install it. That page also carries version history and any requirements you should review first.
