May 2018 – Chameleon is now Version 3.0 !!!
Please note that this is a huge update, and now compatible only with Photoshop version 19.1 and above for full future compatibility and expansion 🙂
for older versions please use 2.5.1

For Photoshop CC 2016 and above
Updated to version 2.5.1 !
• Photoshop CC 2019.1+ compatible
Update 2.5.1
!Bug Patch
• 2.5.0 had a bug that would cause errors if the “Brightness” strip was turned off.
• Some cosmetic stuff too 🙂
Updated to 2.5.0 !
• Information bar introduced
• Massively optimised interface – instant loading after the first time.
• UI optimisation
• (behind the scenes) capablity added for future keyboard shortcut control.
• Left Handed option introduced.
• A new label display mode in place of “no labels”. Much more user friendly
Updated to version 2.4.1 !
• Now includes Palette Lock as well as global lock. This mode retains the colors in the Palette, but still adaptive when you pick colors from the canvas (alt-click, pipette etc). Surprisingly intuitive, this mode was requested by a few artists and by god it’s a great addition!
• Colors can now be dragged and dropped to User strips from anywhere in the Palette!
Many, many UI polishes and love 🙂

What is is ?
Chameleon Adaptive Palette is a swatch panel that automatically and dynamically updates itself to reflect your current palette. Rather than just a number of fixed colors, the ranges are all variations of your current color.

The instant you change foreground color – by picking from screen, or any other method -Chameleon Adaptive Palette adapts and updates. This gives you a wide range of alternates on the fly without taking you out of the flow. From Brightness variations, to hue, to complimentary to temperature and many more.
The UI is extensively designed to be minimal, can be docked with any native panels, scaled to your hearts content, minimise, iconizes etc. You can even switch individual swatch ranges off if they’re no use to you. The panel takes no CPU time while painting and remembers all your settings between sessions.
Chameleon Adaptive Palette is fully compatible with Photoshop CC 2016 and above, both Windows and Mac platforms identically.
