 Palette
Window with Swatch and Actions tooltips displayed. Always
at your Fingertips
Because the Palette window – the main window in Tangerine – runs
continuously in the background, it is accessible at almost
anytime. The Palette window displays the currently open palettes,
together with all the tools, shortcuts and functions you’ll
need to use Tangerine effectively.
The
Tangerine menu is located in the menu bar making the Palette
window accessible at almost any time. Tangerine in Hundreds of Applications
Many applications built for OS X – by Apple and
third party developers – use the Colors panel to choose
and apply colors within a particular application. The Tangerine
Color Picker is fully integrated with the Colors panel. Any
palette and color held in Tangerine can be used across hundreds
of applications.

Color Shortcuts
Setting and retrieving colors in graphics applications has
never been this quick and easy. Tangerine’s user interface
offers one-click 'shortcut' functions. These allow you to quickly
apply and retrieve any color property – foreground color,
background color, fill color, stroke color and so on – within
compatible applications.
The Actions Tooltip displays which mouse and keyboard combinations
will insert syntax or apply colors to the different color
properties of the active application. One-Click Color Syntax for Coders
Tangerine heralds a new era of color management for programmers
and web developers (whose needs, until now, have often been
neglected). Tangerine provides coders with
drag and drop and one-click color syntax. Now you can insert
a color straight into code. Tangerine produces several syntax
variations for use with Objective-C, Java, ActionScript, REALbasic
and languages that rely on hexadecimal color syntax.

a preview of the color syntax to help confirm that the correct
syntax is being dragged. Palette Color Space Restrictions
Do you work on screen or print projects that have specific
color space requirements? In Tangerine you can limit a palette
to only accept colors of a certain color space – RGB,
CMYK, Grayscale – or a combination of color spaces. Colors
that do not meet the restrictions placed on a palette will
be converted to a color space suitable for the palette.
The Palettes Manager window provides tools for managing the
collection of palettes held in Tangerine. This includes color
space restrictions for individual palettes. |
Palette Sharing
Do you need to share your colors and palettes? Or perhaps
you work with more than one Mac? With Tangerine you can export
palettes out to file and distribute them to your colleagues,
clients and friends – what better way to ensure color
consistency when working on team projects. It also allows you
to back up your color schemes.
Tangerine Palette Files Keeping Track of Color Changes
Each time you modify a color – change its component
values, model or profile –Tangerine archives the color
as it appeared before it was edited. This feature
allows you to track incremental changes and, at any time, revert
to an earlier version of the color you’ve been working
with.
