This is incredible. As an artist, I have multiple colour finding/matching/reference apps. This is being added to the collection. Thank you.

Just peeking through the actions and noticed your regex for finding the hex value. " #?([0-9a-fA-F]{6}|[0-9a-fA-F]{3}) " is shorter, will accept either 3 or 6 character variations, does not require the " # " preceding the values, and will only accept valid hex format.

Just in case you haven’t seen my Reddit comment: Found a *huge* bug! When you delete the palette that is the first one of the .json file, you have no chance to view your palettes again, cause a comma remains after the `{`. The result looks like that: `{,"PaletteName":"#111111","#222222"`… This can be easily fixed (and now that you know the bug I of course believe you know how to) by adding another search and replace action: Search `{,` and replace with `{`.

Another thing I’ve noticed: You’re using four Search & Replace actions for the .json file, but one of them is not necessary. The colors are only saved like that: nospaceCOLOR,space spaceCOLOR,space spaceCOLOR,nospace — Just fyi. ;)
