Central Color Palette

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

Directory rank vs rivals

wp.org popularity rank over time · higher is better · when a rival's line climbs above yours, they've overtaken you

How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin · 89% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Refined from the date this plugin crossed into its current band.

No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price.

   Sehr empfehlenswert, um dieselbe Farbe einfach wieder mit ihrer #-Nummer in neue Seiten einzufügen. Dazu einfach einen extra Tab mit diesem PlugIn offen lassen und die -Farbnummer rüberkopieren auf die neue Seite. This topic was modified 1 year, 11 months ago by mehralsheidi.

   I truly loved this tool as it made building your brand so easy by having your branded colors ready to go everywhere you needed them on your website and development work. I used it for a few years and it was a powerful plugin. Sadly, it has stopped working a while back and doesn’t seem to be something that will be updated to work with the newer versions of WordPress. If you are using older versions of WordPress, this is a great tool, but if you are keeping your WordPress, plugins, and tools up to date this plugin no longer works. Hopefully we will see an update in the near future.

   Very useful plugin, love it! Has options for ACF, classic editor and Gutenberg too. Just one feature is missing due to recent WP updates: gradients palette. Please try to add. Thank you!

   J’aime beaucoup ce plugin, il m’est très pratique sur tous mes sites. Il permet de vous constituer une palette de couleur selon votre charte graphique. Puis vous garder toujours vos préférences, même après une mise à jour de vos thèmes.

   It is the first plugin I install when creating a new site so I have quick access to branding colors when customizing a theme and creating pages. Integrates seamlessly with classic and Gutenberg Editor, Elementor, Beaver Builder and the Astra theme.

   Should be a standard part of the colour picker. If you’re using a page builder (not Gutenberg) this is essential to make page creation and editing a breeze. We love it and clients love it.

   Must-have if you use multiple design tools and not just a theme.
