Shademix is the color toolkit professional designers, decorators and brand teams keep on their phone. Sample any color from a photo, the live camera or the screen - then instantly see how it sits inside ten of the world's color systems: RAL Classic, NCS, Pantone (approximate visual equivalents), HKS and Munsell. Get the closest matches with a perceptual ΔE distance, copy the code with one tap, jump to the same hue family, or build a palette from harmonies that are perceptually tuned in OKLCH so they look as balanced as they read. KEY FEATURES • Eyedropper that works on photos, the live camera and any screen capture • 10 cross-system matches per color, with a one-tap copy on every swatch • 8 color formats - HEX, RGB, HSL, CMYK, HSV, LAB, LCH and OKLCH • 7 perceptually-tuned harmonies - complementary, analogous, monochromatic, triadic, tetradic, split-complementary and square • 30 curated mood palettes - Tokyo Neon, Studio Ghibli, Bauhaus, Cyber Mint, Velvet Plum and 25 more • WCAG contrast checker with full pairwise table for the active palette (AA, AAA, large-text) • Color blindness simulation (Brettel) for protan, deutan and tritan deficiencies • Lighting / metamerism preview under D65, D50, F2 and incandescent illuminants • OKLCH gradient generator with copy-ready CSS • Print gamut warning that flags out-of-CMYK saturation and proposes an in-gamut substitute • Save unlimited palettes - compare up to four side-by-side, share via signed link • Export to JSON, CSS, PDF, Tailwind, Adobe .ase, GIMP .gpl, Photoshop .aco, SVG, Figma, Sketch and Procreate OFFLINE FIRST Shademix runs entirely on your device. Nothing you sample, save or share leaves your phone unless you explicitly hit Share. No accounts. No tracking. No ads. EVERYTHING UNLOCKED Every color system, every format, every harmony, every export — all available to every user. No paywalls, no upgrade prompts, no nag screens. WHY DESIGNERS CHOOSE SHADEMIX Most color apps stop at HEX/RGB. Shademix bridges screen and material - the OKLCH value your CSS needs and the RAL or Pantone code the printer or paint shop wants. The same toolkit for designers, architects, decorators, illustrators, photographers, brand strategists and anyone who has ever stood in front of a wall trying to match a swatch.
