Swatchy Turns Everyday Photos Into Claimable Colors
A color-claiming app that samples exact pixels from photos, lets people name them, and turns the results into a shared feed and weekly matching game.
Why it surfaced
Swatchy replaces sliders and color wheels with a finger-controlled loupe that samples the pixel beneath it. Its social layer is unusually concrete: everyone gets the same five weekly colors, then photographs real-world matches and receives a red-green-blue distance score.
