5/5Cried with satisfaction
I’m sure anyone who is color blind has been asked a dozen stupid questions by those who’s cones are intact. This app saves me from having to ask random strangers what color something is. It’s saves me from telling people that my favorite shirt is blue when it’s actually purple. We all see the world differently and that’s what makes it beautiful but this app gives me the ability to know what other people take for granted.

5/5What you need to know
I’ve just recently got this app because i’m red green colorblind and this app comes in very handy when non-colorblind people ask about what colors I see. Very easy to use and fast working too!! Also can be VERY helpful for graphic design and art in general. Now I can finally stop asking other people what color things are!!

5/5Needs iCloud Sync
A designer’s secret weapon for creating custom colors from real life. The one feature that is missing is iCloud sync across devices. Create colors in one place and use them in other devices.

4/5So close
With pantone charging a subscription to pick colors, I suddenly need a solution for color picking the closest Pantone color asap. I have rgb / cmyk images I need to convert to Pantone but there doesn't seem to be anything that gives the same accuracy, or doesn't even let me select the Pantone color profile I need. Would it be possible for you to add the option for Pantone Solid Coated colors?

4/5Awesome app, would like a couple more details on color readouts.
I love this app so far, it’s really awesome to be able to compare colors and mix CMYK and RGB builds to help with color matching. A couple of things that would be an awesome inclusion would be searching/adding colors based on PMS reference numbers, also an LAB value for scanned colors.
