User Interface

Hints

Everything is pretty much intuitive, except a few things...

Start

Light theme

  • Click the input color block to get a random color

  • Click the match color block to see nearby/similar colors

Nearby colors

Delta E

  • The number you may see inside the match color block is the color difference between the input & match. You may not see it clearly when the difference is small.

  • You can use Regular Expression in the search box

Regex search

Out of gamut

  • An asterisk will appear in the input hex when gamut clipping happens (RGB values are out of gamut/range)

  • Geek mode: The missing parts of the slider background strip are out of gamut colors that can't be shown in RGB colorspace.

  • The bottom strip shows estimated colors in those places by clamping RGB values within range.

  • The top strip shows the estimated colors with adjusted transparency indicating the extent of gamut clipping, that is, the more out of range, the more faint colors.

Geek mode

All colorspaces
