#2I really liked the landing page, especially the outline of the iPhone with an example of the app running inside of it.

#3What a great idea. I am renovating my house right now and I have to buy some paint for partially painting a facade. I could use such an app to be able to choose the paint color, in the store, as close as possible to the original one.
Do you know of any such app for Android?

#4Looks cool. I wanted to build something similar some time ago, but never got to it. My idea was that it would serve colorblind people so that they can check what color some things are.
Interesting color names data can be downloaded here: https://blog.xkcd.com/2010/05/03/color-survey-results/

#5Is there a story behind the name? It's a cool name, but it doesn't seem obvious at first glance.
(Edit: cone cells! of course! cheers :) )

My guess: cone cells in the eye, responsible for color vision.

Beware the effects of incident lighting on colour perception. As a human, you do a lot of processing you're not even aware of to normalise the colours you perceive. Cameras cannot do this (without calibration), so if the incandescent/flourescent/daylight/sunlight mix and intensity is different in the store to your house, you could end up with a very different shade.

#10Is there anything to covert hex codes to paint colors? Live, real word paint on the wall. That would be neat.
I haven't looked at a paint can in a while, maybe it's as simple as rgb?
