Colour choices drift as a project grows. A title card uses one blue, the lower third uses another, and by the final render nothing quite matches. Pigment is a palette tool for After Effects that keeps those decisions in one place. Build a palette from a base colour and it generates harmonious companions in seconds, then apply and reuse those colours across layers and compositions. Palettes can be saved and shared, instead of endless trips to the colour picker.

Key Features

  • Creates harmonious colour palettes from a starting colour in seconds
  • Lets you customise palette colours and apply them quickly to layers
  • Keeps project colours consistent across compositions and scenes
  • Saves palettes for reuse on later projects and client work
  • Lives inside After Effects so colour work stays in your normal flow

How to Download

  1. Download from the official site and check the current version and host compatibility.
  2. Install Pigment using the aescripts manager app or the method on the product page.
  3. Restart After Effects, open the Pigment panel, and build your first palette.

System Requirements

You need a Mac with a supported version of After Effects and recent macOS. It is a small panel extension and adds little load to your normal work.

FAQs

Who is Pigment made for?

It is made for After Effects artists who choose and manage colour themselves, from solo motion designers to small teams that need a shared and repeatable palette.

Can I tweak a generated palette?

Yes. Generated colours are a starting point, not a lock in. You can adjust individual swatches until the palette fits your footage, brand or mood board.

Can palettes be reused on other projects?

Yes. Saved palettes can be opened again later, which helps series work and returning clients stay visually consistent.
