Where Does ColorGrab Store Data?

ColorGrab keeps palettes and settings in per-OS config files on devices. Copy the configs with ColorGrab closed.

Last updated

ColorGrab stores custom palettes and preferences in per-OS config locations. Screen picks land in the active palette. History persists between launches.

Back up the config folder to move palettes. Exact filenames vary by release, so confirm inside prefs when paths differ. Export palettes too for a second copy.

Where ColorGrab stores this, by platform

Windows
%APPDATA%\ColorGrab (palettes and prefs)

Palettes plus prefs in per-OS config. Export palettes explicitly as well. Copy with the app closed.

Linux
~/.config/ColorGrab (palettes and prefs)

Same config layout under home paths. Transfers directly between machines.

Frequently asked questions

How do I move ColorGrab palettes?

Copy the ColorGrab config folder with the app closed to the same path. Palettes plus prefs travel together. Reopen once to confirm.

Palettes missing after moving. Why?

Export palettes explicitly from inside the app first. Screen picks alone do not persist. Keep exports beside the config backup.
