- Mac designers and people building color systems
- Worth noticing
- Its contrast checker reports WCAG and APCA readings, then suggests an adjustment that changes lightness while keeping the hue.
Field notes
The app is listed as version 0.13.1, with macOS 14.0 or later required. Its page demonstrates a shortcut-launched menu-bar panel, a floating palette, and extracting colors from a pasted web address; the site says extraction waits for the page to finish loading and saves a screenshot with the colors. Export formats shown include CSS variables, Tailwind v4, W3C Design Tokens, and SwiftUI.
