What It Does
Chameleon lets you work with Adobe Kuler color themes directly in After Effects. Load themes from the Kuler website or desktop app, apply them to compositions with one click, and link any color property to theme colors. When you switch themes, all linked properties update automatically.
Note: This plugin was discontinued and is no longer available. The developer recommends Ray Dynamic Color as an alternative.
Key Features
Theme loading. Import color themes from Adobe Kuler downloads or paste them directly from the Kuler desktop application.
One-click application. Apply any loaded theme to your composition instantly, without manually adjusting individual color properties.
Dynamic linking. Link color properties to specific theme colors. Switch to a different theme and watch all linked colors update in real time.
Color correction workflow. Push highlights, midtones, and shadows toward different colors in your theme for color grading work.
Standalone projects. Compositions built with Chameleon still function on systems where the script isn’t installed.
Who It’s For
Motion designers exploring color variations for client presentations. Anyone building templates where color schemes need to be swappable. Useful for testing how a design holds up across different palettes without rebuilding the project.
Pricing
Chameleon used pay-what-you-want pricing before being discontinued. The last listed price was $24, down from $30. The plugin is no longer available for purchase. For similar functionality, check out Ray Dynamic Color on aescripts.
