About this app

Color Gear is a useful color tool that helps to create harmonious color palettes. To find the right color palette, designers and artists use color theory and the basis of it: color wheel and harmony. You don't need to be a color expert in order to use this app – Color Gear is a user-friendly application suitable for beginners and pros. The perfect app for understanding color theory and daily working with palettes.

Use color wheel that suits your needs
Our app supports two color models — RGB Color Wheel (Additive model) and RYB Color Wheel (Subtractive model). RGB (the primary colours are Red, Green, Blue) is used to create colors in digital media. The RYB color model (the primary colours are Red, Yellow, Blue) relates specifically to color in the form of paint and pigment application in art and design. For both RGB and RYB Color wheel (Itten circle) you can apply one of the 10 plus color schemes.

Build color palettes based on the added color code
Just type in the color name (HEX code) and discover different color harmonies matching this particular colour.

Ability to extract colors from uploaded images
This feature will turn your photos into color palettes! Select the desired picture from your phone and the application's algorithms will automatically obtain the color palette from the image. Also you can manually pick specific colors from the photo with the Color Picker tool (color grab). Then you can Select desired colors and save the palette. Copy a particular HEX color code under color swatch to the clipboard and Paste it in the first Tab (RGB) - in this case you will discover different color harmonies matching your particular color from the image.

Save the Palette along with the Image that you uploaded
This feature gives an ability to Create a Collage. Choose a layout, place the palette on the image and Share it on social media or via messenger, or save it.

Advanced color editing tool
It is very important to balance the quantitative ratio of color in order to make your palette look harmonious in practice. You can quickly mix colors in the images: there are 3 pictures and gradient in the palette editing mode and you can see how the selected colors look in different ratios. By clicking on the particular color swatch you can easily edit the color values (Hue, Saturation, Lightness) with precision.

Easy to manage and share
Easily Save, Share, Remove and Edit already saved palettes. To open the menu just Swipe left your saved palette. You can always copy a particular color code under color swatches to the clipboard. Six color formats available in palette info (RGB, HEX, LAB, HSV, HSL, CMYK).

Two color circles – RGB and RYB, 10+ сolor harmony schemes, option to enter a color code (HEX code input), ability to get a color palette from an image or photo, Color Picker tool (color finder) and an ability to save the palette along with the image. All these tools are always at hand in one application that works offline! Create harmonious palettes with ease.

Ratings and reviews

This app is very promising, but needs improvement. It would be helpful if you implemented various palette sizes, often the one given does not include enough colors. The ability to pick out colors from user defined locations in an image would be helpful as well. The ability to export a palette to an image file would be nice. I'd also like to see themes for the app, possibly using generated palettes. Otherwise, very helpful. Nice work.

I'm a total noob who jumped head first into painting 28 mm modern military miniatures. Without an artistic bone in my body I often need help when it comes to colors. The app is super easy to use and that's important to me. I like to open it up while watching TV or a movie and just play. I always end up with at least 1 or 2 custom palettes that I end up using on my figures. I'm glad I made the purchase.

I paint and draw so this app is a useful way for me to play with some colors without committing anything to paper. Paying for the upgrade is worth it especially for the color editor. Things I hope to see in the future for this app would be a larger palette format and the ability to share color combos with other users of this app. Currently the largest palette you can save is six. It would be great to save a larger set like 10 or 25 colors. Overall I am very satisfied with this app.
