Global Color Palettes is an add-on that introduces a dedicated color management system directly within Blender's Shader Editor. It addresses the limitation of Blender's native palettes, which are typically confined to Texture Paint or Grease Pencil modes, by placing color libraries in the N-Panel alongside material nodes. Users can build custom palettes containing up to ten colors each, assign specific names to individual colors, and select values using the native color wheel.

Palettes can be saved globally for access across any Blender project or stored locally within specific .blend files. The interface includes a save indicator to track unsaved changes to color libraries.
