About

ColorPicker Plus

Features
Read full description

Our ColorPicker Plus scans a colour chosen with the display and determines the RGB and CIELAB values. The app also shows two colours in the colour systems RAL CLASSIC, RAL DESIGN and RAL EFFECT which are next to the scanned colour. Each scan may be archived or sent via email and it's possible to save the picture of the scan as well. The built-in converter is a powerful function: You can use colour circles to set a colour or enter RGB values directly and the app will determine RAL colours like in a real scan. Of course results of the converter may be saved. The app contains complete colour lists of colour systems RAL CLASSIC, RAL DESIGN and RAL EFFECT including a search function.
