## What it is
Materialette is a desktop application built with Electron that provides quick access to Google's Material Design color palette from the OS system tray or dock. It lets users copy any color from the palette with a click.

## Use cases
- pick material design colors quickly from the system tray
- copy hex codes for material design palette colors
- find the right shade for a UI design
- keep a material color reference handy while coding
- grab color values for CSS styling

## When to choose
- you work with material design and need fast access to its color palette
- you want a lightweight tray app for copying color codes on macOS, Windows, or Linux

## When to avoid
- you need a full-featured color picker with eyedropper or custom palette support
- you need reliable tray support on Linux, where Electron tray apps have known issues
- you need an actively developed tool with recent updates
