🖱 Expanded Source Color Hit Area
Wider click zone on source color

UI Color Palette 5.3.1
Go-to-Internationalization
¹Figma ²Dev Mode ³FigJam ⁴VSCode ⁵Penpot ⁶Sketch ⁷Framer
Improvements
🌐 Japanese, Korean & Spanish interfaces
Localization expanded to three new languages
: The plugin is now available in Japanese, Korean, and Spanish, enabling users to navigate the interface in their native language. Language detection adapts automatically from system preferences, manual selection persists across sessions, and no existing language is affected.➕ Add colors and steps directly from the preview
A new call to action is now visible next to the preview
: Users can add colors or steps directly from the preview zone without having to search through menus. The action updates the preview in real time and is disabled with a clear message when the maximum count is reached. ¹·³·⁵·⁶·⁷💳 New payment system via Polar
Subscriptions are now managed through Polar
: A Polar account is required to subscribe. Once authenticated, subscription status is automatically synchronized with the plugin — no manual action needed. Existing Lemon Squeezy license keys remain fully supported, and Figma in-app purchases still activate Pro access without requiring a license key entry.Minor Changes
🎨 Source colors icon updated
The 'eyedropper' icon has been replaced by the 'colors' icon
to better convey that the action relates to source color management rather than a one-off color pick.🎯 Adjustment icon updated
The 'target' icon has been replaced by the 'adjust' icon
to more clearly communicate that the action performs a setting or fine-tuning operation.✨ "New" button added to color generation tools
A "New" button now appears in the AI generation, image extraction, harmony, and color exploration tools
: After generating or extracting colors, clicking "New" explicitly creates a new palette from the displayed source colors. The existing helper is preserved alongside it.💰 Updated credit costs
Credit costs for several operations have been revised
:- Palette update: 25 → 100 credits
- Palette generation: 150 → 200 credits
- Sheet generation: 250 → 200 credits
- Local styles sync: 250 → 300 credits
All other operations remain unchanged.
Bug Fixes
- Contrast indicator now reflects the correct color during navigation: The displayed contrast ratio always matches the currently active (highlighted) color in the list or gallery, regardless of navigation speed, scroll position, active filters, or sort order.

UI Color Palette 5.3.0
Fresh and Revamped aka Neo
¹Figma ²Dev Mode ³FigJam ⁴VSCode ⁵Penpot ⁶Sketch ⁷Framer
Key Features
🎛️ Redesigned navigation with sidebar
New sidebar layout
: The UI has been fully reorganized around a sidebar that surfaces palette management, AI generation, image extraction, color wheel harmonization, and Color Lovers exploration as first-class tools.Simplified palette creation
: The dedicated "Create palette" service has been replaced by a unified management service, allowing creation and color additions in a single flow — removing the step-by-step creation → verification → editing process.🪙 Token synchronization
Synchronize with tokens
: Create and update design tokens directly from your palette using Penpot's plugin API. Tokens can be generated with or without themes and are fully decoupled from the palette. A preference option allows tokens no longer linked to the palette to be automatically removed from their sets. · ⁵Improvements
💳 Credit-based palette creation
100 credits per palette
: Palette creation now costs 100 credits. In return, the one-palette-per-page/document limit has been removed — you can create as many palettes as needed in any context.Bug Fixes
- Flex properties overridden in document generation: Fixed an issue where two flex layout properties were incorrectly overridden in the Penpot document generation template, causing malformed output. · ⁵
