Who it's for

Made for the people who actually use it.

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.
