About Node Color Tools Pie

Node Color Tools Pie is a Blender add-on designed to manage node colors in complex node trees. It provides two pie menus: a Quick Color menu offering preset hard‑coded colors, random assignment, removal, and copying of the active node’s color; and a Precise Color menu where you can define and save up to five custom colors, with the same random, copy, and removal functions. Both menus operate on multiple selected nodes simultaneously. A sidebar menu contains all functions except the hard‑coded presets, offering a traditional interface alternative. Hotkeys are configurable in the add-on preferences. Version 1.0.3 adds compatibility with Blender 4.4 by detecting the Blender version and selecting appropriate icon names. The add-on runs on Blender 4.2 LTS and newer and requires no special permissions.
