I revived my 2015 Hue app. Now it turns your room into a haunted house (free Halloween scene, iPhone + Apple TV)

Back in 2015 I made Palettes, one of the early Hue light-show apps (~100k downloads), then life got busy and it disappeared from the App Store. This fall I rebuilt it from scratch, and found 2,000+ people still had the old version on their phones.

The idea now: an animated scene with music plays on your phone or Apple TV, and your Hue lights act out the story. In the Haunted Manor, a ghost passes through the room bulb by bulb, three knocks dim the lights, and a Boo! button flashes every bulb at once (my kids won't stop pressing it).

There's a pumpkin patch scene that's completely free to play, and every other scene has a free preview. Just needs a Hue Bridge.

Happy to answer questions about how the light sync works. Search "Palettes Hue" on the App Store.

Hue Halloween in Action!
