ColorWell For Mac

As a web or app developer, an efficient way to work with colors is essential. And just as importantly, you need to be able to access your color palettes in any application, without relying on a certain app whenever you start a new project.

ColorWell is a clever macOS color tool that integrates the system color picker instead of replacing it. It allows you to select colors, create palettes, import or export content from any source, and then use your palettes in any other app.

To start with, things are pretty straightforward. The app uses the macOS color wheel for picking colors, and you can grab all color codes, and edit them, from the main window. On the right-hand side, you can see and edit the current palette.

Once you've fine-tuned a palette, or you want to import a new one, you can bring up the palette manager. Everything here is synchronized with the system color picker, so they will be available in any other app. A search tool is included, and you can import and export content from a variety of sources.

If you're starting from scratch, you can use the palette generator. When a color is selected, this tool shows you complementary, analogous, triadic, tetradic, or monochromatic colors, which you can add to the current swatches or replace them.

Another option is to load an image file that has colors you want to use in your palette. They will be ripped from the image, and you can fine-tune the selection to decide which of them you want to keep.

Not only does ColorWell include a host of useful features, but it also plays well with other applications a developer might use, since all your palettes will be available via the macOS system color picker. It's a great tool, with very reasonable pricing.
