What's a Color Palette

A color palette may consist of one or more colors. The purpose of a color palette is for animators to access and manage colors easily.  You can set up unique color palettes for each character or a scene to ensure that the color usage is consistent in your work. 

In Animation Desk, you can save up to 32 colors in a color palette. You can create multiple color palettes with the Creativity 365 or Animation Desk Pro subscription.
