Excellent!

This is by far the most advanced color picker in the whole App Store. It even beats Adobe Color CC and its predecessor Adobe Kuler which both pick colors from single pixels. Color Lens gives you the most dominant colors in the whole image and it does it in real time! It even tells you the name of the closest color which I find amusing. All in all a magical little app!
