Reference schemas directly in your applications:

{

  "specVersion": "0.1",
  "palettes": [
    // your palette data
  ]
}

Latest Version

For always-current schema access, use the /latest/ path:

https://palettejson.org/schema/latest/palettejson.schema.json

Choosing a Version

We recommend using specific version URLs (like v0.1) in production applications to ensure schema stability. Use the /latest/ URL only during development or when you want to automatically adopt new schema features.
