Can't figure out how to use colors!
So, I'm working on something and almost done with line-art and wanted to get a proper color palette ready. While looking around the tools I did find the "Color Palette" and "Color Picker" as well as the ability to select a custom color for a layer other than the presets. But none of those things work.
I just want to know if I might've found a bug or if color is still something being worked on, thanks a lot.
Also wanted to say that I really love how simple the layout is for the software. It doesn't feel like walking into a airplane cockpit like Krita or Blender.

Colour isn't yet implemented (although coming soon as indicated on the Home page) and under the X-sheet the colours are not for actually 'colouring' an image.
It's more for dividing the parts of the image up into easy to identify sections - ie characters, backgrounds, effects etc. At least that is my interpretation of their use.
Thanks for your question PaperrFace!
Manimation said it (thanks!). Coloring is not implemented yet.
Until we have coloring ready, you can use one of the options for exporting your animation including your timing - and color elsewhere. Should be pretty straight forward, but let me know if you have further questions!
Hey Neil’s!
It’s been a minute! I’m super excited to see AP in beta now! Any ETA on coloring? Cheers!

Hi Mike! Good to see you! 😉
I am as always reluctant to set dates because much can and will happen while developing 🙂 But a good guess is six months. Coloring IS the next big thing in our pipeline.
Thanks,
