Hey, these are some feature suggestions that I feel could make this app even better.

1. Ability to name/label colors in palettes. This can be very useful when doing palettes of similar colors.
2. Ability to reorder colors in palettes. This can be useful to compare colors side by side to pick the best fit.
3. Ability to double click the color or the area the Hex is displayed to copy the Hex value to the clipboard.
4. Currently dragging the RBG channels will not update the color that is displayed. Could the color be updated live as the RGB channels are changed?

Emulsion v3.2.0 from Flathub.
I didn't use the keyboard so I didn't use Screenkey.

To be more precise, strings between <![CDATA[]]>.

Hello.

I am graphic designer and I found your app very useful in combination with other open source tools.
Currently I'm using emulsion 2.0.1 version downloaded from Flathub. It will be great if you can add an option to export the palette as .SVG File to work with it for instance in apps like darkatable or Inkscape.

Thanks a lot for this great app.

Add Ctrl+O as a shortcut to open the file picker dialog to import a palette.

Emulsion won't save edits I make to palettes I create, and is a bit glitchy. I am unable to change/remove colors. I have included a gif showing the issue.
I couldn't get Screenkey set up, but the only keys I press (other than typing "Green") are Ctrl + C and Crtl + V when pasting Hex codes from gedit into Emulsion.

I am running version 2.0.0 installed from Flathub.

Would it be possible to add color palette generator option to emulsion? I'm color blind and frequently have to generate palettes from sites like https://coolors.co/ using a starter hex value.

It would be a great addition to emulsion if it could do that for me offline and save the palettes it generates.

I would be happy to sponsor some of this work if it's something you'd be willing to work on.

Limit the hexcode input to A–F, a–f, 0–9 and # and max 7 characters.

Limit the RGB input to 0–255 and max 3 digits.

Hello!

Suggestion

I would like to make the suggestion of removing the green tint from the background, and making the background pure gray, preferably 18% gray (also known as "middle gray": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Middle_gray).

The Reasoning

The green tint in the background makes the app look very cool, but that color tint interferes with our perception of the colors in the palette. I've studied color theory and worked as a colorist in video production, and the colors surrounding the colors we're working with affect our perception of those colors.

More + Examples

Colors can be perceived darker, brighter, or even a different hue or saturation depending on the colors surrounding them. We can see those effects with optical illusions like the following ones showing the effect on brightness, where grays are exactly the same shade but other elements around them make them appear different shades:

(Block the highlight and shadow bevel in the middle, and the colors around the gray blocks to see the effect)

Thanks!

Hello! Great app.
In addition to editing a color using RGB sliders, would it be possible to add HSL/HSV sliders?

Description

After creating a new palette, renaming it and going back to the list of palettes, I can't open it anymore. Opening pre-defined palettes still works.

When trying to make a new palette, I find it helpful to be able to simply select the colours.

Currently this would mean using a colour picker tool and putting the values back into emulsion.

https://apps.gnome.org/app/org.gnome.design.Palette/

Google's Material Design palette from Android.
https://materialui.co/colors/

And import palettes from the following locations:

• /usr/share/gimp/2.0/palettes/
• ~/.gimp-2.8/palettes/
• /usr/share/inkscape/palettes/
• ~/.config/inkscape/palettes/

Info: runtime org.gnome.Sdk branch 42 is end-of-life, with reason:
The GNOME 42 runtime is no longer supported as of March 21, 2023. Please ask your application developer to migrate to a supported platform.

Add a shortcut key such as Esc, Backspace or / to leave the current palette screen and go back to the main palette list screen.

There seems to be some sort of phantom padding around the window border. It shows up when maximized or when the window is pressed against the edges in gnome-shell.

The app version is 3.2.0

Add import/export support for .gpl palette files. This is supported by software such as GIMP and Inkscape.

Hi!

If I open a palette, I can see all the colors, but when I exit the palette and open it again, I see an empty page -- the colors are gone. Same happens to new palettes I create.
But the weirdest thing is: it's happening to all palettes except the first palette in the list.

Also, sometimes, when I open a palette, exit, open it again and the the colors are gone, I can exit the palette, switch to another app, switch back to Emulsion, open the same palette and the colors are back. But if I exit the palette and open it again, the colors are gone again. This only happens sometimes. Sometimes even switching apps doesn't bring the colors back.

• Emulsion Version: 3.2.3
• OS: Pop!_OS 21.10 (Gnome 40.4.0 | X11 | OpenGL not available / Hardware Acceleration disabled)

1. Open a palette
   
2. Exit the palette / Go back to all the palettes
   
3. Open the same palette
   
4. Empty page / Colors are gone
   

Thanks!
