3 useful design tools

Color tools for a clearer design

Convert solid CSS colors, sample an image pixel, and check text contrast for a color pair.

A color value is more useful when its role and context are clear. Convert between common numeric formats, sample a source pixel carefully, and compare a foreground against the background on which it will appear. These tools work with simple browser color representations rather than a professional print or color-management workflow.

A sampled pixel is a sample

A photograph can contain many nearby shades. A sampled pixel does not establish a brand specification, and alpha affects how the pixel appears on another background.

Contrast is one part of access

A solid color pair passing a selected text ratio does not certify an entire page. Check focus states, keyboard behavior, form labels, and the actual text size too.
