Capture colors from your camera or photos and collect them in named palettes. ColorPicker turns everyday inspiration into usable values for design, painting, development, and sharing. Features: - Live camera sampling and precise picking from photos - White or neutral reference calibration under the same lighting - RGB, RGB Hex, W3C, RAL, CMY, CMYK, HSV, LAB, LCH, and XYZ - Complementary, analogous, split-complementary, and triad harmonies - Palettes with up to 50 distinct colors from captures, RAL matches, and harmonies - Select, reorder, remove, or replace palette colors; reuse colors from saved palettes - Save, rename, duplicate, and delete palettes in your library - Export the colors in your palette by email, link, or file - Import a palette from a compatible ColorPicker link or file Use the free version to capture and inspect one color at a time. Each new capture replaces that single result. The full version unlocks all palette features, including viewing, selection, creation, editing, saving, import and export, plus RAL and calibration. Saved palettes sync through iCloud on iOS. Your current unsaved draft stays on this device. Color readings are approximations and depend on your camera and lighting. Calibration can compensate for a color cast under the same light; it does not guarantee an exact paint or print match.

Color model is a mathematical model that people make to describe colors. Among them, RGB/HSV/HSL are common color models. In many software and applications, you will see color pickers based on a certain color model. They are usually represented by a plane, or a cross-section of a certain geometric representation of a color model. In fact, the color model can usually be more intuitively represented by three-dimensional geometry. RGB cube. HSV pyramid. HSV prism. HSL double pyramid. HSL prism. This APP provides the following functions: ○Geometric and numerical conversion between color models. You can see the values ​​corresponding to the three color models and the commonly used Hex values ​​directly at the top of the screen. It's clear at a glance. You can see three color models and their five geometric representations in the center of the screen in the out mode. You can intuitively see the conversion process between them by switching the geometric representation of the color model. ○Intuitive 3D color picker. In wireframe mode, you can see how a certain component of a color model is represented in geometry. And how the final selected color is determined by the three components. By sliding the slider below, you can also dynamically see the dynamic presentation of the component in the geometry as the component changes. Finally, happy to use.
