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 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)
