## What is Color Calipers?

Color Calipers is a hands-on color harmony tool for building better palettes from the colors around you.

Inspired by classic color-wheel methods, Color Calipers lets you explore color relationships visually using live caliper-style controls. Choose a starting context, adjust the color wheel, move the calipers, sample real-world colors, compare harmony options, and create palettes for rooms, clothing, artwork, branding, furniture, flooring, and more.

Whether you are choosing an accent wall, coordinating furniture, building an outfit, selecting artwork for a room, or developing a brand palette, Color Calipers helps turn color decisions into a clear visual process.

KEY FEATURES

Live Color Calipers
Move and adjust caliper-style relationships on a color wheel and watch your palette update instantly.

Color Harmony Tools
Explore common harmony structures including split complementary, complementary, analogous, triadic, monochromatic, tetradic/rectangle, and square relationships.

Photo and Camera Sampling
Use a photo or your camera to sample colors from walls, furniture, flooring, clothing, artwork, or materials. Tap multiple points to create an averaged baseline color.

Paint Store Color Cards
Create paint reference cards from selected palette colors. View HEX, RGB, HSL, CIELAB, estimated LRV, and closest paint matches from the local paint database.

Saved Palettes
Save palettes for later, reload previous work, compare options, and continue refining your color direction.

Print and Share
Export, print, or share paint-card references for discussion, planning, or collaboration.

BUILT FOR REAL DESIGN DECISIONS

Color Calipers is not just a color picker. It is a visual decision tool. The app helps you see how one color relates to another, how a palette changes as the calipers move, and how a sampled real-world color can become the starting point for a stronger palette.

Use it for:
• Interior color planning
• Accent walls and trim coordination
• Furniture and room palettes
• Clothing and outfit color combinations
• Artwork and frame coordination
• Branding and communication palettes
• Paint color exploration
• Creative color studies

IMPORTANT NOTE

Paint matches and digital color previews are approximate. Color appearance can vary by display, lighting, sheen, paint base, material, and surface. Always verify final paint choices with a physical manufacturer chip or paint store sample.

Color Calipers does not generate paint-store mixing formulas or tint percentages. Paint stores create formulas using their own brand, base paint, tint system, and colorant machines.
