PaletteWB is a Windows editor for creating and working with color palettes. It can generate palettes through interpolation or a cosine-based method, import and browse palettes, and adjust or reorder colors with filters and patterns. The full distribution includes almost 700 palettes, and users can save palettes they create or edit. PaletteWB supports GIMP GPL, Adobe Photoshop ACO, Fractint MAP, Microsoft PAL, and hexadecimal color lists. Exports also include rendered images, formatted text, and color-cycling animations. For image work, it can apply palettes to indexed images, convert RGB images to indexed formats, and process images in batches. It can also create Julia and Mandelbrot fractals and noise images. The evaluation version has reduced palette and image limits, disables batch processing, and is not for commercial use.
