Show HN: hue.tools – open-source toolbox for colors

hue.tools was created after spending way to much time trying to find the right tools when working with colors.

It's an attempt to create a simple but useful toolbox for common color related tasks and problems.

While it's in no way perfect or provides the tools for every use case, it has served me well in the last few months and I hope it will be useful for some of you as well.

Great tool! Does it account for gamma? Can the user enter a different gamma value?

This is really pleasant to use. For years I've used https://paletton.com/ to similar effect, but I actually like the interface here a lot better. It's a bit simpler, and more straightforward. Great work!

I'm really glad to hear that. Thank you!

The UI seems responsive and produces nice looking results. However I found the usefulness of blending and mixing hampered by the fact that fine grained control of the saturation, luminance, etc. are only available in the modify tab. It would be more useful to me if I could modify those on any color I’m working with in the other tabs.

An idea for improvement would be to add a palette feature that you can see and modify on all tabs so you can create and modify a set of colors without having to copy them somewhere else before moving on to the next piece of a design.
