    Shutterstock Introduces ‘Palette' Image Search

    Palette Image Search

    Shutterstock has just launched a new image discovery tool called Palette – the latest feature to be developed as part of the Company’s lab site.

    “Designers love exploring the Shutterstock collection using color and we wanted to create a unique experience for those searching within brand guidelines,” said Shutterstock's VP of Product Wyatt Jenkins. “Palette was designed as a collaborative tool to inspire and discover imagery based on color schemes.”

    Designers and creative professionals can use Palette to:

    • Inspire ideas: Use Palette during ideation to build moodboards and visualize ideas with a variety of color combinations.
    • Discover imagery: Curated palettes in the tool suggest interesting color combinations to help customers with their initial Palette discovery.
    • Customize color combinations: Users can search Shutterstock's library by choosing up to 5 colors to create an individualized palette of their choice.
    • Access data-driven palettes: Patent-pending algorithms use image data, search queries, and download behavior to collectively determine each unique palette's colors.
    • Work on the move: Palette is mobile-web responsive to adapt to users' workflows beyond their desks.
