This tool is done in 2 versions: Qt and PySide. Functions are the same, only the code is different! It's been tested in Nuke 11+ on Windows and Mac.

How to install Qt:

If you get this error: importError:cannot import name QtWidgets you have to install Qt.

Here you can find a complete guide about that: http://www.andreageremia.it/tutorial_panel_qtpy.html

Otherwise, place this file http://www.andreageremia.it/download/tutorial/qtpy/Qt.py here:

- Windows: C:\Program Files\Nuke10.0v1\lib\site-packages
- Linux: /usr/local/Nuke10.0v1/lib/python2.7/site-packages
- macOS: /Applications/Nuke10.0v2/Nuke10.0v2.app/Contents/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/site-packages

Use this code in your menu.py to load the Panel in Nuke.

import ColorPanel

t = nuke.menu('Nodes')
c = t.addMenu('ColorPanel', icon='ColorPanel.png')
c.addCommand('ColorPanel', 'ColorPanel.colorPanel()', 'shift+c', icon='')

And use the Shortcut SHIFT+C to call the Panel in Nuke.

---

You can modify 'tile_color' of Nodes, just clicking on the relative button. On the top grid you have all the Default colors from Nuke and in the second one other colors you can modify just using QtDesigner.

---

With the 'Custom color' button you can choose the RGB.

---

Then you can also modify color of BackDrops and StickyNotes.
