Every color,
measured.

The color tools of a pro image editor — picker, channels, Lab, gamuts, harmonies — with every formula shown and checked. CIELAB, OKLCH, CIEDE2000 and APCA, verified against reference implementations.

Tools

Color Picker→

HSB, RGB and Lab channel modes, gamut and web-safe warnings, swatches.

Converter→

14 formats from HEX to OKLCH, with every step of the math shown.

Harmony Wheel→

Complementary to tetradic on RGB, RYB or OKLCH wheels. Exports tints & shades.

Palettes→

195 palettes with a lab report: text contrast, color blindness and print.

3D Color Spaces→

The same gamut as cube, cone, bicone, Lab and OKLab solids.

Lab Matrix→

a*b* slices and hue leaves through CIELAB and OKLab, sRGB or P3.

Chromaticity→

CIE xy and u′v′ with spectral & Planckian loci and six gamuts.

Sky Lab→

Sunrise and sunset colors from physics, as gradients and palettes.

Contrast & ΔE→

WCAG 2.2, APCA and four ΔE formulas — with an auto-fix.

Gamma Explorer→

Content made for one gamma, shown at another: curves, ramps and images.

Gradients→

One gradient, nine interpolation spaces, lightness curves and CSS.

Image Lab→

OKLab palette extraction, histograms, loupe and CVD simulation.

Print Preview→

Two CMYK profiles side by side on real paper: gamut, ink and black checks.

Color Compare→

ΔE between CMYK through any profile, Lab, PANTONE or your library, split into L, C and h.

CxF Viewer→

Spectral curves, Lab under any light and M0 / M1 / M2 from your CxF files.

Color theory, from Newton to OKLab

Why do three numbers describe every color you can see? Why is a 50%-lightness yellow so much brighter than a 50%-lightness blue? Why do gradients go grey in the middle? The theory guide answers with live diagrams instead of hand-waving.
