Nunca mais fique na dúvida sobre qual meada comprar. O Thread Color foi desenvolvido para resolver um problema comum entre pessoas que usam meadas: descobrir os códigos de linhas equivalentes a qualquer cor de referência. Seja começando um projeto do zero ou usando outros projetos como base, o app permite que você capture a cor e a meada exata que precisa. Você pode selecionar um tom através do menu de cores (com suporte a HEX e RGB) ou importar uma imagem da sua galeria e usar o conta-gotas para ler a cor da foto. O app busca em seu banco de dados e retorna o código da meada que mais se aproxima daquela cor em 5 marcas diferentes (como DMC, Anchor e outras). Use o Thread Color como sua ferramenta para escolher cores e descobrir meadas e tire seus projetos do papel com mais facilidade!
