Early access

Build palettes you'll actually come back to.

Color Scope is a native iPad and macOS app for illustrators. Capture colors from any reference, organize them the way you think, and reach for them the next time you start a piece.

Tools for the colors you'll actually use.

Color Scope is built for the small daily moves illustrators make: pulling a swatch from a reference, building a working palette, returning to a color from three projects ago.

Palette builder

Build palettes by hand or by harmony, with the math done quietly in the background.

Project library

Group palettes into projects so a piece you started last month is still there next month.

Image color extraction

Drop in a film still, a photo, or a screenshot, and pull the colors you actually saw.

Color explorer

Move through the spectrum with your finger or a Pencil, finding shifts a slider would skip.

Swatch search

Find any color you've saved by name, hex, or the project it lived in.

Quick access panel

Pin the colors you're using right now so they're a tap away while you work.

From a moment of inspiration to a palette you keep.

Catch the colors you love when you see them, organize them the way you think, and reach for them the next time you sit down to work.

Step 01

Capture

Pull colors from a photo or film still, or build them from scratch with harmony hints.

Step 02

Organize

Group palettes into projects, name them, and keep the keepers separate from the experiments.

Step 03

Return

Find any color you've saved across every project, ready the next time you start something new.
