About

hashColor

Read full description

Creating and sharing color palettes should be be easy, but most design software makes it too complicated. hashColor helps transport colors from design to development by organizing colors in the flexible SVG file format. The hexadecimal format is a convenient source of truth for your colors, whether you are designing for the web or otherwise. And SVG files can be opened in design software, code editors, and even browsers. Your colors won’t be locked away in an app or proprietary file. Any file created in hashColor should be viewable on almost any device. hashColor can read any html, css, svg or text file that contains hexadecimal colors. Color swatches can be imported and exported via drag-and-drop. Create and organize palette files for reference, or simply use it to quickly grab colors from a file.
