Introduction

What is Color Studio?

Color Studio is a comprehensive color management and pixel art toolkit for the Unity Editor. It provides an integrated suite of tools for creating color palettes based on color theory, painting pixel art sprites, and recoloring game objects at both edit-time and runtime.

Key Features

Palette Manager

• Color Wheel — interactive color wheel with harmony presets (Monochromatic, Complementary, Triadic, Tetradic, Split Complementary, and more).
• Procedural Palettes — generate palettes from color theory rules. Adjust hue count, shades, saturation, brightness and white balance.
• Import/Export — import ASE palette files, export as textures, LUTs, or C# code.
• Color Conversion — convert textures or game objects to match a palette using RGB, HSL, OKLCH, or OKLab matching.
• Palette Inventory — browse and manage all palettes stored in your project.

Pixel Painter

• Built-in Sprite Editor — create and edit pixel art directly inside Unity with pen, eraser, flood fill, and more.
• Quick Sizes — instantly create 4x4, 8x8, 16x16, 32x32, or 64x64 canvases, or specify custom dimensions.
• Seamless Preview — real-time tiling preview to check for seams on repeating textures.
• Full Undo/Redo — complete undo/redo support for all painting operations.

Runtime Recoloring

• Recolor Component — add to any game object to swap colors at runtime using palettes or per-color rules.
• Non-destructive — original textures and materials are never modified; remove the component to restore originals.
• Optimized LUT — optional internal LUT generation for fast real-time recoloring.
