Color Decoder
Designer/developer Jon Hicks blogs about a new $22 OS X application, Color Decoder. Put simply, it converts on-screen colour (RGB, CMYK values) into easy to understand colour names.
It watches the color underneath the mouse pointer, displays the color’s name near the mouse pointer, optionally speaks its name using speech synthesis, and flashes areas where the same color appears on the screen.
Worth downloading the trial version and having a play with it if you can, but I’m afraid not worth the asking price for me. Interesting just to think about how it works – purplish white, vivid reddish orange?
