A great tool overall to interact with colours in a variety of ways for a variety of fields; interior design, print, graphic design, web dev, traditional art, etc. Lets you grab colours IRL (based on your camera's view) or view and convert between a set of colour code syntaxes, well-thought out and all without a strict paywall! A must have and worth supporting if development is still active ✨ The colour page navbar & UX could use some improvement (clarity & consistency)

Great color capturer as it is almost equal to specifically made color calibrating /capturing tools without the high cost. It has great adjustments to adjust for color constancy issues. U can adjust the capture by adding light or dark to color. Artist need access to tools like this & not be priced out like many art supplies. Great for matching reference colors or matching specific colors on designs. One negative, I wish it had Munsell color space, but other than that it's an awesome app.

I work in graphic design and have used 100's of apps and programs. I rarely do any ratings and/reviews. I feel the need to preface this with above information, to provide context. To demonstrate I have a familiarity with these applications. 'Color Grab'.... In terms of its intended purpose to find, match, etc. colors, is unbeatable! Accuracy, speed, other extras ..... the best. Superlative. I don't know anyone in the company. I have no relation, or obligation......... You get it right?
