It is good for graphics designing.

> I wrote a palette software myself that can generate palettes and import them into Krita. Create Colors from the Color Wheel Drag the color tags on the color wheel, adjust the position, and you can create a set of similar colors. Pick-up Colors from an Image Click “View” in the top navigation bar and select “Image” to switch to the image view. Double-click the blank area to open an image. Click anywhere on the image to select a color.

It’s not in Krita itself, but it can work with it.

If you can describe how it works, we probably could imagine if there is something that can fulfill your needs, perhaps [Pigment.O](https://krita-artists.org/t/pigment-o-plugin/4531)? But without description, we can hardly tell what it does, we can’t read your mind.

Sorry, I’m not good in describing. So, you can search for it in Google or can listen any lecture.

Why not link to those resources yourself? You are the person who wants something from other people.

Nah, I think I know that site. I found it while searching for palettes once

It wasn’t what I was looking for, so I didn’t play much with it.

I know what it is. I don’t think it’s worth making so I did not do it. Only thing decent there is the size of display. The secondary Tint and Tone is kinda bad to have there I think.

P.S.  
Yeah one of the web site that handle color harmony out there. I went through that one also.

Just because everyone has a wart on their face doesn’t mean I have to have one too… 🤔

Michelist

Add/Edit: @Studio-Kyubo:  
So, on a more serious note, have you looked at the Krita plugins for color, for example the ones in our forum section for resources?  
Besides the Swiss army knife for color, “Pigment.O”, there are a few other plugins for color. I don’t know if all of them have been adapted for Krita 5.2.x in the meantime. Are “Cold to Warm Palette” (adapted as far as I know) and “Shade Maker” something for you? I think “Palette Maker” & “TF Esay Colors Map” are rather unsuitable for your needs, not what you are looking for.

There is nothing specifically like this.  
my two color plugins kinda fill some part of it but doesnt function like that.

1. because the other one is meant to randomly generate palette as sort of challenge thing to combat art block
2. and the other is request and is more like for shading. [it does not have the value stuff]

my random palette generator can generate something with both value and saturation and even hue variance but it is pined on foreground color or random. [though it offer a varied number of color scheme you just dont have control of it internal working as each has set range they randomize to]

Nothing like the one you show - and im just too impatient to make any sort of UI with widget control to even attempt it.

It was a special kind of comparison.  
You wrote that you think Krita doesn’t have this, which is correct. And in connection with your original question that you would like to have it, I wanted to imply that wanting to have something “just because everyone else has it” does not necessarily have to be advantageous, and symbolized this with a wart.  
I like to look at this wanting to have something just because others have it, I saw it on others, from the side of the example of the tattoo called “tramp stamp”.  
This tattoo, which was very fashionable among many women many years ago and which most of them only had stitched “because the others have it too”, is rejected by many today and many of them wish they had never had this tattoo.

My problem is the actual configuration. I have swatches of 5 to 3 colours. I would have change orientation regardless not to mention I only have 20 pixels in height to spare maybe 30. And I am not gonna give a whole panel for display only without a real big reason. There is already the harmony display on it that acts like buttons and reaction to size variation is doable but still not what is there for 4 colours. This is like a double split only config.

↓ I don’t usually take offense at such things.\* ↓ It would require a completely different choice of words and behavior. So don’t worry, everything is fine!

Michelist

\*Clarification: “I don’t usually take offense at such things.” → That meant → So I did not take offense in this. You did nothing wrong, everything is okay, don’t cry, because there is no need to cry!  
Because it would need a different choice of words to offend me.
