Color Palette for Scratch 3.0

Warrior_Denial

There is a color palette in Scratch 2.0's costume editor, and it was extremely useful for making one of my projects. Please bring that back in Scratch 3.0.

i support, the sliders are weird

Support, maybe like scratch 2.0 with the recent colors too?

No support.
It's just weird, and having to navigate through whatever things to make an actual colors that look good isn't convenent.
Exact white, black, grey, red, orange etc. isn't great looking for projects, unless you put a bunch of transparency to blend them;
which isn't possible in Scratch.

Yea, it was useful for getting the exact colors as another, without having to use the color picker thing.

but what if we want exact colors?

the argument that it doesn't look good is pretty opinion based

I realize this will not fully replace the great 2.0 feature

, but you can backpack a costume with exact colors to pick, and then un-backpack it into a project where you want exact colors

.

If you want to, you can use ScratchX! it's meant for extensions, but it can be used as a basic 2.0 online editor!

The argument you gave that the sliders are weird is also pretty opinion-based. It’s not that hard to use the colour picker to get exact colours, or make a colour palette sprite. I don’t understand why you would want less freedom when it comes to choosing colours for your project (unless the palette would be toggle-able, in which case I understand).

Maybe both the color palette and the sliders could be an option? It would bring variety into the Paint Editor.

Yeah, that’s what I was thinking.

There should also be RGB values.

no support, color palettes are messy and you can't get a exact color. I'd rather use the sliders,

Maybe a color palette with customizable colors would be cool. And RGB sliders, as I said.

but others might not. I would like being able to get an exact yellow color…

Keep in mind that the suggestion never asked for the palette to replace the sliders, but simply for the palette to be brought back to 3.0.

Whether customizable or not, I support this suggestion because I found myself needing exact colors while working on projects. It also doesn't seem too disruptive for users that prefer sliders as seen in the 2.0 editor.

What colors should be in it in 3.0?
I suggest:

## ## ## ## ## ## (black grey grey grey grey white)
## ## ## ## ## ## (very bright colors)
## ## ## ## ## ## (bright colors)
## ## ## ## ## ## (less-saturated colors)
## ## ## ## ## ## (red yellow lime aqua blue fuchsia)
## ## ## ## ## ## (in-between colors)
## ## ## ## ## ## (maroon olive green teal navy purple)
## ## ## ## ## ## (very dark colors)

You missed orange, but otherwise, that looks good.
