Paletton is an online application located on the internet at Paletton.com. It provides powerfull tool to create color combinations and palettes of colors that work together well. The major advantage of Paletton is it's not using the modern computer and engineering RGB color space, but it's built on a classical artistic color wheel, applies classical color theory and works within a specially created RYB color space. Therefore the color combinations it produces are very different from those you can get in many computer graphic applications.

It existed for several years and only a couple of people knew about it, though they liked it and used it prequently, mostly for web design. In 2009 there was a major improvement, brand new UI and new name Color Scheme Designer. This version became popular among many designers and color fans around the world. Even bigger change was in 2014, when the application was completelly rewritten, named Paletton and got a new domain paletton.com.
