Color Palette is a visual color analysis DCTL from MonoNodes designed to extract a representative color palette from any film still or reference image directly inside DaVinci Resolve Studio.

The tool gives filmmakers, cinematographers, and colorists a clear visual reference for studying the dominant colors of an image. It is particularly useful for analyzing cinematic references, maintaining color consistency between shots, developing a cohesive visual language, and preserving mood throughout a project.
