In the future would there be a way to enter a hex code and have the system work off that? That's the only thing it's missing (for me).

#54I have to say I like this - great design, easy to operate, etc. I think something needs to be done to better indicate "other wheel selections" (ie - to move to "square" or "analogous", etc) - while I discovered it fairly quickly, it wasn't as intuitive as I think it could have been. Beyond that it's a great tool, and the pricing for the more advanced version is decent. That said, it wouldn't take much for someone to…
There are other picker tools that are similar to mine and each of us has a unique take on the problem. It doesn’t worry me. If someone wants to make their own version that’s cool. Thanks for the feedback!
I would have put the arrows down where "complementary" and "analogous" and made them more visible rather than elongated and thin.

#57This looks awesome! Congrats on launching it. First: Don't get bogged down by random HN commenters' feature requests. Second: I have a feature request. I'd love a native version for Mac OS with a magnifying glass thing that allows me to select a color somewhere else on my screen, and then suggest complimentary colors. I'd gladly pay for that!

#60Earlier quoted context omitted.
If you'll accept the step of copying the values into the tool that figures out the complementary colors for you, macOS comes with Digital Color Meter, which will tell you the color of anything on your screen.
(It’s hiding in the Utilities folder if you can’t see it in Applications.)
I have it set to CMD + Shift + C. Great to have it easily accessible
