ColorPicker helps you sample colors from a live camera preview or a photo, then turn that color into practical values for design, paint, code, and sharing. Features: - live camera color picking - photo-based sampling with precise repositioning - white or neutral reference calibration to compensate for lighting in camera and photo picks - formats that travel: RGB, RGB Hex, W3C, RAL, CMY, CMYK, HSV, LAB, LCH, and XYZ - harmony at a glance with complementary, analogous, split-complementary, and triad sets - save, load, copy, deep-link, and email useful color values - sync saved colors through iCloud, then rename or delete them from your list ColorPicker is built for quick, everyday color decisions by designers, developers, artists, and anyone matching colors from physical objects, inspiration photos, or real-world scenes. Calibration is useful when the same lighting makes a white or neutral reference appear tinted: set the reference, then keep picking under that lighting with a corrected reading. (The color detection generally depends on the used camera and surrounding light conditions)
