Add or remove colors in your color palette

KColor lets you quickly customize your color palette by adding or removing colors with ease. This is especially useful when you’re fine-tuning your scheme for visual balance, accessibility, or aesthetic harmony.

How to remove colors

To remove a color from your palette, simply click the Delete color from color palette trash icon on the color you want to delete.

You can also use the spinner in the top toolbar—clicking the Remove the last color in your color palette down arrow will remove the last color in your current palette automatically.

How to add colors

To insert a new color between two existing swatches, click the Add a color in your color palette button that appears between them. KColor will interpolate a new color based on the surrounding colors.

Alternatively, use the Add a color in your color palette up arrow in the spinner to append a new color to the end of the palette.

Refine your palette flow

These features allow for quick experimentation and precise control over your palette’s structure. Whether you’re building a gradient, UI scheme, or a design system palette, it’s easy to adjust the number and arrangement of colors on the fly.

Use cases

Designers can remove excess colors for simplicity, or add more tones for detailed UI states, visualizations, or branding palettes. It’s especially useful when refining light/dark steps or creating balanced color transitions.

How to restore a previous version

Remember that you can always restore a previous version of your color palette through the Browse your color palette history History panel or by pressing ⌘ Z

Next steps
