There are three ways to add colors —

  • By entering values — RGB, RGB%, Hex, HSB, or CMYK

  • From color tile prompts of complements, saturation, shades and tint

Add colors from images or live camera —

  • Fine-tune color selection by tapping the magnifier to step from a single pixel to averaging multiple pixels.

  • No limit to the number of colors in a palette.

  • Use real-time display of RGB (or tap to view colors as RGB%, Hex, HSB, or CMYK) values to assess color match.

  • Turn-on flashlight with live Camera when light is low to improve color selection.

  • Use the sample dot to help get an exact color value.

Add colors by entering values —

  • Use your preferred color mode: RGB, RGB%, Hex, HSB (HSV), or CMYK
