Point the app at something white in the scene and what do you see? 5 stars if there was a feature to set a custom white point for proper calibration. It's not a hassle, pro photographers always carry around pocket sized grey/white cards to know what the color temp was at the time of shooting, or to set custom white balance in video cameras. Shouldn't be too hard to implement.

For me, the most useful feature in SwatchMatic was detecting the dominant colors in the image. Hopefully you can add that to this new app in the future.

But the ability to get the live colors, build real paint palettes and then save them meant I could match paint to furniture colors and buy gallons without swatch books or putting a bookcase in my little hatchback. Could it be even better? Yes. But it's still a really great app.

Just as easy to use as is predecessor but with more features! The ability to make adobe swatches is cheap. The movie and artwork sections are also pretty cool.

If swatchmatic looks more like a just-for-fun tools, this app looks more professional. The ability to create my own palette combination is very helpful. A good tool for designers, and to think the pro license only cost 1 Dollar, makes it a good deal.

Fantastic app for designers! Works flawlessly for me. Use your mobile camera to find analogous and complementary colors to develop palettes and even gives the Hex & HSV codes! One of the neatest features is that it will search for masterpieces with that color palette. For an extra $0.99 you can export swatches to Adobe.

What it really needs is the large colors that it displays on SwatchMatic. Or at least an option to enable this. That aspect of Swatchmatic was extremely useful. On this one, the colors are on these very thin bars so when I'm using the camera to search for colors (depending on what I'm looking at), I can't even see which color scheme it's suggesting. Yes, I know you can view it after you take the picture but the great thing about Swatchmatic was that you could see big colors live. Gotta give it a low rating for now because of that :/ Swatchmatic 5 stars though.

App should work without the location permission. When denied and checked "never all again," the app simply hangs.
