Swatcheroo is your handy dandy swatch pal. That’s, uh, short for ‘palette.’ Swatcheroo will hold on to, and manage, fill and stroke colors, store colors from your layers into the panel, and from the panel you can apply the colors to your layers. It even has a small history for future use.
Photoshop’s got it! Illustrator’s got it! Animate’s got it– and now AE’s got it, too!
Swatcheroo is a super simple panel for applying, reading, and storing colours.
No clunky, slow, or weird expressions; no helper comps or other bloaty shortcuts. Just colours.
