Can I sync across iDevices?

Can I sync across my iPhone and iPad?

Moving swatches from one bucket to another is not easy. Deleting is also not just

Colorblind mode is awesome!!

Needs iCloud Sync

A designer’s secret weapon for creating custom colors from real life. The one feature that is missing is iCloud sync across devices. Create colors in one place and use them in other devices.

Wow!

I’m usually too lazy to rate apps but I had to make an exception here. I like to mix and make paints and this app has by far been the most accurate and easy to use! Definitely worth supporting!
