We’ve made a small update to this little tool. It is similar to Adobe’s Photoshop Color Picker and has saved us quite a lot of time when creating and the website and documenting our apps.
As with ALL our Apps it is FREE, SECURE, collects NO USER DATA, has minimal demands on the Users hardware, including Chromebook Plus’s, and has NO components hidden away as ‘PAID EXTRAS’.
Users can interact with a high-fidelity colour picker to instantly generate a hex color code and a descriptive title. The hex color code can then be transferred via a dedicated clipboard function. This utility helps ensure consistency across projects by providing users with accurate hex codes for use in professional logs and correspondence.
The changes are very much ‘under the hood’ except that the color is displayed in a circle now.
It’s very simple to set up and use but if you need it there is a User Guide otherwise :
- Open a browser (Chrome, Edge etc).
- Launch the tool by clicking here.
- Drag the webpage off ‘Bookmarks’ and resize it (if you wish) as shown below.
- Pick: Click the Color Square to open the system picker or type a HEX code directly.
- Identify: The Lexicon Name (e.g., Light Muted Red) and Luma Weight update instantly in the viewport.
- Copy: Click Copy Identity to save the formatted string
[Name] ([HEX])to your clipboard for use in emails or logs.
Technical Notes:
- Unified Luma Standard: Employs the mandatory formula to ensure tonal consistency across all Lumatic LAB tools.
- Lexicon Matrix: Naming is driven by a 3-dimensional matrix (Tone, Saturation, and Hue) for professional grade color communication.
- Optical Neutrality: Viewport is hard-locked to #7F7F7F to eliminate simultaneous contrast errors during color evaluation.
