Palletes

[JuniferBerries]

Artkal released a new colour pallette for mini beads. Is it possible to add a feature to either upload your own colour palletes (I have a list of hex codes for their new M series), or do you have any intention to add in the new colours?

@JuniferBerries Hey, thanks for raising this issue!

I'd be happy to incorporate the new mini beads into beadcolors, which is the palette source used by beadifier!

To be honest, a few people have already requested a custom palette feature, but here's where things currently stand:

• This project is mostly in maintenance mode, except for adding new colors.
• When new bead colors are released by a manufacturer, I believe the best approach is to add them directly to the repository so the whole community can benefit.
• The number of users working with custom-only colors is fairly small, so the broader value comes from keeping the core palette up to date.

As mentioned, I’d be glad to add the new beads if you can provide the hex codes. Or feel free to open a PR directly against beadcolors if you're up for it!

Thanks again for contributing and helping the project stay relevant! 🙌

Sure thing. All the hex codes should be here:

3 colours are omitted in the spreadsheet, black, white, and one grey that's the same as one of the C greys, but I can provide those as well if you need them.

Also, in Artkal C, you have some beads labelled CE. What are those as I don't recognize them from the Artkal list?

Regarding the mini beads you're mentioning in this ticket, I'm a bit confused by your spreadsheet, which of these do you want me to add? Also we will need a name in addition to a reference & hex.

Coloumns G & H. G is the hex, H is the name of the colour. The M series is manufactured and was previously only released in China and are referred to as only M#. They don't have names as far as I'm aware.
