Color Palette Importer For Mac

Small tools to import and export colors from the Mac OS X ColorPicker palettes (.CLR).

To open a color palette in Macintosh Illustrator 5.x or higher: Start Illustrator. From the File menu, choose Import Styles. Locate your color palette. It should have the.ai file extension and an Adobe Illustrator icon to the left of the name in the Get File dialog box. Select the color palette and click Open or double-click the color palette.

  • Adobe Swatch Exchange (.ASE) import and export.
  • Hex color list to system palette.
  • Simple UIColor category generation from color lists.
  • Color search&replace from .xib/.storyboard

You can find binaries of those tools in the Releases tab up there.

SwatchInstall.app

This is a desktop app that allows you to drop an ASE file on it and imports it into ColorPicker.

Ase2Clr

This is a command line tool that reads a Adobe Swatch Excahnge (ASE) file and outputs a .clr file that you cancopy to your ~/Library/Colors directory and use from the standard ColorPicker (third tab, palette). It can also install it for you with -i.

  • Supports RGB/CMYK and Gray colorspaces (Lab values will show black).
  • Right now it ignores groups in the ASE file.

Usage:

Will produce Filename.clr in the same path.

Will install the generated file in ~/Library/Colors. You might need to re-open the colorpicker for it to refresh the color lists.

Clr2Ase

This tool allows you to read a Clr file or a named ColorPicker palette and export an ASE file that you can load in Adobe Suite.

Will produce Name of color list.ase.

The usage is analog to Ase2Clr:

Clr2Obj

This tool creates UIColor (iOS) categories from system colorlists (either installed or from a .clr file).Note that this tool is very basic. Duplication of methods is not checked, and only RGBA colors are generated.
