Anyone know of an Add-on to assist with making colour schemes and palettes from **within** _RW_, please?

TIA…

I don’t know of a way to **create** a pallete in RW but the new version of foundation that requires Stacks 3 has the ability to store one and apply to elements on the page.  
Essentially you can specify 6 pairs or colours (foreground/ background etc) and then in stacks like header or paragraph pick one of these pairs. If later on in the sites development you choose to change the colour then it will change wherever you’ve set it throughout the site.

For coming up with a pallete in the first place I use one of these sites:

> **[Coolors - The super fast color palettes generator!](https://coolors.co)**
>
> Generate or browse beautiful color combinations for your designs.

> **[Paletton - The Color Scheme Designer](https://paletton.com/)**
>

> **[Color Hex Color Codes](https://www.color-hex.com/)**

> Color hex is a easy to use tool to get the color codes information including color models (RGB,HSL,HSV and CMYK), css and html color codes.

I can not remember who makes it, it might be @defligra, but there is a color saver plugin. Again not exactly sure who makes it.
