Announcing Palette Picker – the new name for Colour Chooser – and a long-overdue new release.

Way back in 2010, I released an initial version of Colour Chooser, a small Windows app which I put together for selecting colours. This subsequently expanded into a small palette management utility through several updates over the following years.

Since then however, it's fallen a little by the wayside and was definitely due a glow-up. And frankly the era of software which doesn't get regular updates is behind us, so the fact it hadn't been touched for years was probably a bit of a turn-off to anyone who might have been looking at it. That's totally fair.

So today, I've released Palette Picker version 1.12.0. This is the latest version of the same application but I've taken the opportunity to give it a fresh lick of paint, including a new icon and new name.

If you are currently using Colour Chooser, I'd definitely recommend that you update. All the information can be found on the Palette Picker page. It still remains free to download and use.

Expect more frequent updates over the coming weeks and months. I have a number of new features I'd like to add, as well as some more behind-the-scenes changes.
