like @Blobbey mentioned, the color fading extension is what you’re looking for @Gideon_loves_cats the “set color 1 to RGB” will switch color 1 in the palette to a new color. we should really have a block that takes the #RRGGBB format though, I’ll add one now. ---

Can you add blocks like “change hue/brightness/saturation of colour x hue by y” ---

I didn’t want to make a new topic for this question, but is there a way I could switch between palettes that I have created? For instance, if I have a custom palette but make two other palettes with it as day and night versions of the first palette, is there an easy way to switch between them? ---

You could probably do something with arrays ---

btw you could use the color namespace and use something like this this will add a custom palette with the Name and since your defo better than me in makecode typescript I think you can do whatever changes to this as you want ```auto namespace color { //% fixedInstance whenUsed block="Name" export const Untitled = bufferToPalette(hex` 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 `); } ``` you also could make an nested array and for rgb values arrays and just sub them in when you want them like this ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/makecode/original/3X/9/8/9893725b6481e660ab7358e7df2d2b6e0a4d10ee.png) ---
