Color Studio

Color Studio is a Unity extension for creating color palettes and pixel art, with tools for dynamic recoloring, texture editing/voxelizing, and palette management. It supports all render pipelines.

Color Studio is a powerful editor extension that lets you:

a) Create appealing color palettes using a variety of tools integrated in an easy to use editor window,

b) Create or edit textures and sprites right into the Editor using a powerful Pixel Painter window,

c) Recolor any gameobject, including skinned objects and sprites, in editor and runtime.

d) Voxelize textures: create 3D gameobjects from a sprite texture.

With Color Studio you can leverage color theory to create procedural color combinations that look nicely together.

Texture & Sprite Authoring

• Create or edit textures and sprites using an integrated Pixel Art Painter window.

• Includes different brushes, widths and shapes.

• Advanced brushes like darken, lighten, vivid, dry, tone noise, gradient, ....

• Rotate, displace, flip or resize the drawing canvas.

• Mirror drawing support.

• Seamless mode preview.

• Zoom & panning support.

• Designed for productivity and ease of use, including full undo/redo support.

Texture Voxelization

• Voxelize/export textures as gameobjects from the Pixel Painter window.

• The algorithm uses optimizations to reduce vertex count of the resulting mesh.

Palette Creation & Management Features:

• Automates color swatch generation based on different algorithms, shade and hue count. Use the interactive color wheel to visualize your results in realtime.

• Generate gradients and color combinations including complementary, triadic/square, accented analogous, etc.

• Can customize palette by adding/removing custom colors.

• Customize saturation, brightness and overall color temperature.

• Load/save color palettes as ScriptableObject. Manage all palettes in your project from a single view.

• Generate C# code with color values as an array.

• Import ASE palettes (Adobe Swatch Exchange format).

• Includes 10 sample palettes.

Editor Extension:

• Your palettes remain visible in a convenient Editor Window.

• Includes a compact view which only shows the current palette. Useful with Unity color picker as you have always your preferred palettes/colors at hand.

Dynamic Color Transformation Tool:

• Generate LUT from any palette and use it with assets like Beautify to quickly color the entire scene according to the palette.

• Choose a gameobject to show its main color/texture and the suggested color/transformed texture based on the current palette. Export the suggested texture with a click.

• Recolor gameobjects and sprites at runtime: add the "Recolor" script to a gameobject or sprite to change its colors (material, texture or vertex colors) automatically based on any palette in realtime.

• Can specify per-color operations (preserve original or replace with custom color).

• Can apply LUT or color grading options to individual gameobjects or sprites.

Render Pipeline Compatibility:

Color Studio works with all render pipelines (built-in/URP/HDRP/Custom).
