Get the right color with Nearest Color
You've got a color like #d58400 and you need the best match to that
color from your palette.
Get the closest match to any color from your palette. Tailwind, Apple HIG, and Bootstrap are the palettes that are currently supported.
Windows coming soon
Here's an example of what you'd get with Tailwind
Your color
#d58400
Tailwind yellow-600
(which is #ca8a04)
Nearest Color is a MacOS app (Windows coming soon) that finds the right color from your palette instantly – no need to guess or hope!
You enter #d58400 and select your palette. Say you select Tailwind,
it tells you yellow-600. You enter lab(80.5% -40 79), it tells you lime-400.
Give it a color in any format: hex, rgb, hsl, hwb, cmyk, lab, oklab, lch, or oklch.
You'll be using the best color science to find the color humans perceive as closest, not just the mathematically closest color.
Nearest Color is available on MacOS with Windows coming soon – available as a one-time purchase.
