the scratch team is working on adding colour swatches to the scratch paint editor. this is very early and nothing should really be assumed release. they haven't announced it yet.

discuss it here, and maybe we can share feedback to the scratch team via this topic.

branching off from the studio page topic, its unrelated and it takes forever to load due to 100 pages.



heres how they currently look (thanks maximouse!)

i'd like to bring up this quote from the studio page topic:

I like it, although I think a few shades of gray would be more useful than five different skin colors.

Seems pretty cool. I think they should also add a custom color spot for saving important colors that aren't on there.

Interesting! This would be very nice for frequently used colors.

Hopefully color swatches don't turn out the same way the studios did (A good idea but a bunch of bad stuff they hide till the very end)

Yay I’m one of the first posters here. Anyway this would be pretty cool because now I don’t have to fiddle around with those little bar things to get the right colour I was looking for.

That’s my favourite colour! (That’s a really big hint)

Would we be able to change the colors in the swatches? Hopefully they would add that.

Well, it's the exact color of the Looks blocks, so it makes sense

Link for the PR if anyone's interested (or if my eyes totally missed jeffalo posting the link somewhere): (rm -f link)

actually nvm:

whenever a gh PR gets linked here it gets destroyed so i think its best not to link it.

anyways, I agree with maximouse about their choice for color, but either way this is pretty cool.

Cool, I hope they add a feature so that we can add our own colours as well, like in Keynote for macOS -

To be honest, why can't they keep the default colour scratch's orange or something, rather then purple, ugh
