日本人自古以来便擅于从各种日常之中获得色彩的灵感，并以纤细的视角赋予各种色彩独一无二的地位，并更进一步应用于绘画、工艺、织染甚至于文学与诗歌上。 于是我们可以从平安时代的女性们身上，看见和服的典雅配色；从日式庭园中，一窥白山绿水的调和色彩；在千年古城的堂奥里，看见代表昔日风华的金灿色泽。 「日本传统色」便是在长远的历史中一路累积而来。这里罗列了 365 种颜色，可以看到每种颜色背后的典故。 颜色数据均来源于 暦生活 授权自limboy的网页版https://colors.limboy.me/ 所有颜色数据和图片均存储本地，无需联网。

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: ColorDesk at every 3 weeks against JColors's every 7 months. ColorDesk also leads on iOS requirement (14.0 vs 16.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
