Pocket Palette vs NCS+

The perfect blue is everywhere: in a sunset, a paint chip, a stranger's jacket. Pocket Palette lets you capture it in seconds and build it into something. It's a full-featured color studio that feels like a simple one. Every tool is one tap away, nothing is buried in menus, and there's no learning curve standing between you and your palette. Open the app, and you already know how to use it. From the world to your palette Point your camera at anything: tile, fabric, foliage, that mural you pass every day. Pull the exact color straight into your palette, or eyedrop from any photo in your library. If you can see it, you can keep it. Deep tools, zero clutter Under the simple surface is a precise color editor. Work in Hex, RGB, HSB, or spin the HSB color wheel for intuitive hue control. Every color is fully editable, and undo keeps experimenting risk-free. Not sure what comes next? Pocket Palette suggests coordinating colors to round out your scheme. Organized without effort Group palettes into Collections by project, client, or mood. iCloud sync keeps everything current across your iPhone and iPad automatically—no account, no setup, no thinking about it. Everywhere your work goes Copy Hex, RGB, HSB, or CMYK values with a tap, or share your palette as a clean image for Figma, Procreate, Canva, or wherever your work lives. Pocket Palette isn't where your project ends; it's where your colors begin. Honestly free No ads. No subscriptions. No data collected: your palettes are yours alone. The whole app is 6 MB, small enough to forget it's there, fast enough to be there the instant you need it.

MATCH A SURFACE Using the built-in support for the Colourpin II / SE / PRO colour readers, you can easily scan any surface and find the closest matching NCS colour with the click of a button. You can also see how much the scanned surface differs from the closest matching colours with the built-in rating function and its corresponding delta E 2000 value. NAVIGATE THE NCS COLOUR SPACE The new and improved NCS Navigator brings unparallelled ease of navigating in the NCS System, through the NCS Circle selecting the prefered hue, and the NCS Triangle to select the correct nuance. The innovative beehive allows you to fine-tune your selection by modifying the selected colour in either chromaticness, blackness or whiteness, giving you exactly the colour you want. COMBINE COLOURS Through the smartness of the NCS System, you can combine colours of your choice based on colour similarities such as nuance-, hue-, blackness-, chromaticness-, whiteness and NCS lightness similarity. Basing your combination colours on these properties are one of the most certain ways of creating colour combinations that harmonize.
