ColorShades Description

Choosing the exact shade of a color is very difficult to do using a color wheel or "rainbow" color square.ColorShades is a Mac OS X utility designed from the ground up to help you easily choose colors by looking at grids of related colors.You set the center color of a grid using the intuitive Hue-Saturation-Brightness model. You then pick which two out of Hue, Saturation, and Brightness that you want to vary across the grid, set the step sizes and ColorShades fills in the grid.You can use ColorShades to get your desired colors on a printout. Using the on-screen controls, set the center colors to be as close as you can to your desired colors. Examine your printouts to find the exact shade that you want and then look up the corresponding color components on ColorShades (or read them right off the printout if you have the chip text turned on for the print). Finally, enter the color components in your graphics program or drag the corresponding chip from ColorShades to your graphics application.NOTE: To ColorShades Feeder via the App Store an Apple account is required.
