Ase Palette

Overview

Extracts the palette embedded in an Aseprite document. Reuse the colors from an Aseprite work directly in PixPipeline nodes for quantization, color adjustment, or shared-palette workflows.

Usage tips

• The main use case is coloring other assets with an Aseprite palette: aseprite_load → ase_palette → palette_quantize (quantize another image).
• You can process the extracted palette with palette_edit or palette_adjust_oklch before using it.

Related nodes

• aseprite_load — supplies the document
• palette_quantize — a common destination
• palette_edit / palette_save — edits or saves the palette

Read this first

• Feed the Aseprite palette directly into PixPipeline Palette nodes.
• This makes the node an entry point for PaletteQuantize or PaletteSwap.

Basic workflow

AsepriteLoad
  -> AsePalette
  -> PaletteQuantize

This applies an Aseprite-derived palette directly to another image.

When to use it

• To reuse an Aseprite work's palette on another asset
• To reorder or save a palette in the graph
• To inspect the number of palette colors

Example

• AsepriteLoad -> AsePalette

This outputs:

• a Palette value from palette, and
• the number of colors from count.

Notes

• An empty source palette returns an empty Palette.
• Colors preserve their document order and per-entry alpha. Transparent entries are not removed and duplicate colors are not merged automatically.
• The node does not return the image itself. Connect a separate AseFrameSelect to inspect the appearance.
