There is a fatal mistake in the RGB color mixer: green is mixed wrong in the preview window (but correct in the slider color). Red and green should make yellow and they do in the sliders but not in the preview. And green by itself only makes dark green while the sliders it seem correct. Good app otherwise, hope this error can be fixed in a future update. Then it deserves five stars.

Love this app. I am a housepainter and search for matching colors with, for example furniture or if somebody don't know the colornumber. With this app you'll be able to find it. This app helps to determine color and converts it to several color schemes, RAL, PPG, Sikkens, Jotun etc. etc. Because of so many features you have to take some time to figure out how to use this app.

The best color calibration I've found around. Using a phone camera is always a bad idea, since it's by definition uncalibrated and the software does a lot of unwanted, unpredictable correction which is impossible to turn off without access to raw data and a camera profile. This app has a nifty white calibration which neutralizes most of this and, for a ballpark color finding, it is more than enough.
