App with Apple's color palette.
Hi everyone,
Is there an independent app that has all the colors displayed in Apple's color palette used for apps like Pages and Keynote?
Thank you in advance.

It is as simple as copy/pasting the following (free) AppleScript code into the Script Editor, and running it:
use scripting additions
choose color
return
But this won't help in transferring selected colors to Pages, or Keynote, because it is not an integrated color picker to those applications, where the color return value would be applied to selected text.

Pages and Keynote have an integrated color picker that returns a selected color to those applications. A standalone color picker cannot do that.
You select the color of choice in the Apple Color picker's Pencil palette, then switch to the color sliders palette, and choose RGB sliders. The previously selected pencil color will be shown in RGB, and hex colors.
I like the Apple color menu above as it displays different color palettes including the crayon option, which is one of my favorites. However, the Apple color menu is only displayed inside Apple apps (Keynote, Pages, ...) and can't be displayed as a standalone app (at least not to my knowledge). Another shortcoming I see is the absence of RGB and Hexadecimal values for the selected colors. As I pick a crayon the color value (RGB and Hexadecimal) is not displayed.
With this in mind, is there an app that displays the same colors (or more) as those in the Apple color menu and also shows the values for each color?
Thank you in advance.
Thank you everyone for your answers and recommendations.
VikingOSX I tried what you recommend above and it worked fine. Thank you for sharing it.
I did search the App Store and found an app named Pastel that has Apple color palettes (including crayons) with both the RGB and Hexadecimal values. In case anyone finds another one they consider to be more useful than Pastel please share it.
Thank you again for your help.
Like Adobe Photoshop Elements? It shows the colors in a lot of ways if you choose the Apple Picker, including the crayon box:
Go to the App Store and search for "color picker". You'll get a list of over 100 potential candidates. Some are free and others from $0.99 to $19.99.
No crayons but the other features you were looking for, free:

Love these forums. I learn something new here every day. This is what the script gets us
Thanks.
What do you want the app to do?
If you are looking for a color wheel that will let you choose color palettes, take a look at:

Try a search for "color picker" in the App Store. There are numerous choices.
I wish I had thought of that. Oh wait… 😎
Welcome.
VikingOSX,
This is an awesome and super easy solution. Just created the script and ran it. I am keeping in on my desktop from now on.
Thank you.
You are welcome.
