Key features:

• Unlimited colors supported in palettes - If you can imagine it, you can generate it
• Easy custom palette generation with custom color ramp setup
• Quick import new palettes from coolors.co URLs or design you own palette with ease
  

• Import and export palette books with ease
  

•  Effortlessly browse through various styles
• Auto invalid path detection without interrupting the process for stress-free user experience
• Dynamic syncing immediate feedback

What's under the hood?

• ColorDock manages palette books, where each book is dedicated for a character or scene that needs color palette variations.
• Each palette book consists of palettes as well a common list of bindings called pathlists that link the palette colors to selected color properties.
• Each pathlist consists of a collection of pathlists which are basically the RNA data(full data path) of the target color property.
• Whenever a different palette is selected in a book, the color properties linked to the book also change their values to match to the new palette instantly.

Setting up Pathlists:

- Right click on color attribute you want to be controlled
- Click the "Copy Full Data Path" option
- Add a path in the paths section of the desired palette color by clicking on the "+" icon next to it
- Hover or double-click on the path and paste the copied value from the clipboard using "ctrl + v"
