Chromo is ReadyTools' color database and color analysis tool. It helps you search a color, open a detailed color page, copy color formats, build palettes, test contrast, preview UI usage, and export code.

Where to open it

Open Chromo at /chromo. From there you can search by HEX, RGB, HSL, or a known color name, upload an image for color extraction, open the color database, or jump to a random color.

What Chromo is useful for

  • Finding a color from a value or name.
  • Extracting colors from an uploaded image.
  • Understanding a color's formats and conversions.
  • Checking shades, tints, tones, harmonies, and generated palettes.
  • Testing accessibility and contrast.
  • Exporting CSS, SCSS, Tailwind, React Native, SwiftUI, and JSON snippets.

Core idea

Chromo is not only a color picker. It is a color explanation page for each valid color.
