Super Useful

Easily customizable and organizable! It’s simple but effective, very free controls that let you build palettes yourself

Awesome

With the addition of LAB sliders now available, it is what I always wanted. Doesn’t collect data and does what you think it does!

great!! one thing would make it perfect…

this is definitely my go to for making and storing color palettes! the fact that it’s free, unlimited, and simple makes it my first choice. i use it every time i write CSS code as a way of storing all my color schemes. because of that, i use HSL colors a lot. i currently use a HEX to HSL converter online, but it would be awesome if you could bypass the middleman and view HSL values within the app! other than that, great work!

CCatman1!!!

Literally my favorite app

If I couldn’t have this app I would literally throw my phone in a river because what would even be the point. Anyway, clean design, nice ui and does what it says on the tin. Couldn’t ask for more.
