Show HN: Color Picker for iOS and Android developers
- endentru 10y agoSimilar to https://color.hailpixel.com/ https://color.hailpixel.com/ which is pretty useful too.
- bluetwo 10y agoNice but HSLa would be a nice addition. I think we really should encourage the use of this format now that it is supported. The ability to shift saturation and brightness without impacting hue is really useful once it saves your butt a couple times.
- sdvz 10y agoThanks for the feedback. I'll add HSLa as an option.
- kccqzy 10y agoHSL and the likes are based on a simple cylindrical transformation of RGB. I would argue that we usually want perceptual uniformity, so I recommend cylindrical versions of CIELAB instead; just replace a* and b* with C* and h* , where a* = C* cos( h* ) and b* = C* sin( h* ).
- marksands07 10y agoThis is a really good native color picker http://sipapp.io http://sipapp.io
- blkhp19 10y agoThere should be a space between an argument label and the parameters being passed. UIColor(red: 0.5 ... For example.
- sdvz 10y agoThanks. Fixed.
- Razengan 10y agoNow that all Apple devices and computers can display DCI-P3 [1][2][3], you should expand this to support/include colors from that wider color gamut, and in Extended sRGB and 16-bit formats, especially since the preset examples start with red. :) [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DCI-P3 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DCI-P3 [2] https://webkit.org/blog/6682/improving-color-on-the-web/ https://webkit.org/blog/6682/improving-color-on-the-web/ [3] http://www.astramael.com http://www.astramael.com
- guelo 10y agoIs there anything special about that set of colors?
- greggman 10y agoI don't know what this is supposed to do or how it's useful but it flickers like crazy on my iPhone6+ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6owWcbPEcbA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6owWcbPEcbA It said iOS/Android so I checked it from iOS. The headline on HN says "Color Picker" but there are 16 million colors, what's special about these 105 colors? How do I pick other colors? There's no readme or about or what's this. What's the point? Do I give it a list of colors to show a user? Are these 105 colors special?
- sdvz 10y agoThanks for letting me know about the flickering. The point of ColorsForCoders is to provide a convenient way for iOS and Android developers to select and integrate colors in their apps. Code for a particular color is copied to the clipboard when clicked. It is meant to be used on a desktop during iOS/Android development.
- aleatorisch 10y agoSeems to have no ability to scroll with the keyboard. That would be a major impediment to me using it.
