Who it's for
Made for the people who actually use it.
Designers
The pain
Copying a colour from one app to another means converting HEX to RGB by hand and hoping the shade matches.
The outcome
Every format side by side, plus shades and matching palettes, so your posters, logos and posts stay on-brand.
Web developers
The pain
The client sends a HEX code, the CSS needs HSL, and nobody knows whether grey text on white is readable.
The outcome
Convert in a click and confirm the contrast ratio passes AA or AAA before the page goes live.
Students
The pain
Design and web assignments ask for colour schemes, but picking colours that look good together is guesswork.
The outcome
Complementary, triadic and analogous palettes worked out for you — learn the theory by seeing it.
