Custom Color Palettes for Excalidraw in Obsidian (Script Tutorial)

Want a faster way to switch up the colors you draw with in Excalidraw? The Color Scheme Manager is a new Excalidraw script for Obsidian that swaps the entire Stroke and Fill color palette of your color picker between named, categorized themes — on the fly, from a docked side panel. Instead of hunting for hex codes, you pick a theme and the picker's swatches (the quick-pick rows + the extended 3×5 grid) get repainted with that scheme's family. With elements selected it recolors just those; with nothing selected it sets the active stroke/fill for the next things you draw. Your canvas background is always left untouched. It ships with ~60 built-in themes across 8 categories (Cloud Providers like Oracle Redwood, AWS & Azure; Code Editors like Nord, Dracula & Catppuccin; Tech Brands, Design Systems, Nature, Vibrant, and more), and you can create or import your own in seconds. 🎉 Good news: it's now part of the official Excalidraw Script Engine library, so you can install it straight from the plugin's script store — no manual file copying needed. ✨ What it does • Docked side panel — browse and apply palettes without leaving your drawing • ~60 built-in themes, filtered by a Category dropdown • Full 15-swatch palettes (3×5 grid) with automatic light→dark shade ramps • Smart apply — recolors your selection, or sets the active color for what you draw next • Create your own from two colors (a full 10-accent palette is auto-synthesized) • Import via paste or .txt/.json file (works with Paletton "as text" exports) • MindMap Builder integration — optionally recolor a mind map, one color per branch • Canvas background always stays clean (white) — only Stroke & Fill change 📦 How to install (via the script store) 1.
