Custom Palettes

As of v0.14, up to 10 custom palettes can be uploaded in JSON files. Starting in v16.0, over 100 custom palettes are supported but the palette numbering scheme has changed: custom palettes start at the number 200 downwards so you need to re-save your presets - palettes 255-201 are reserved for usermod palettes like Audio Reactive.

v16.0 also introduces an improved Palette Editor (accessible from the palette icon below the color picker in the UI) to create and edit custom palettes directly in the UI. The editor lets you add colour stops, adjust positions - and can show what your work looks like on the LEDs in real time.

Custom palettes can also be uploaded by placing JSON files named palette0.json through palette9.json on the device via the file editor. The format closely resembles that of the palettes defined in palettes.h with a gradient position (0–255), red, green, blue for each colour stop. An example:

{"palette":[
    0, 255,  33,   4,
   43, 255,  68,  25,
   86, 255,   7,  25,
  127, 255,  82, 103,
  170, 255, 255, 242,
  209,  42, 255, 22,
  255,  87, 255, 65]}

Once a palette file has been created, it can be uploaded to the controller using the /edit page (http://[controller-ip]/edit). Since version 16.0 the editor is accessible through the file icon below the color picker.

Additional Palettes (v16.0+)

v16.0 includes over 800 palettes that were hand-picked from the cpt-city collection. They are available directly in the palette editor.
