## Kitsmith's take

A narrower tool than a general color picker: give it one or two colors — hex, RGB, a color name, Pantone, or Material Design — and it generates a palette of in-between shades, rather than sampling pixels off your screen. The format list is unusually deep for a one-developer app (36 formats spanning CSS, Swift, Java, .NET, and raw NSColor/UIColor variants across color spaces), and it can send colors directly into Photoshop or Illustrator, or via a Sketch plugin. One-time Mac App Store purchase, no subscription or IAP.

## Features

- **Two-color palette generation:** Creates up to 13 intermediate shades between two input colors.
- **36 export formats:** Converts values across CSS, Swift, Java, .NET, Android, and native NSColor/UIColor formats, in 46 ICC color profiles.
- **Image color scanning:** Extracts a palette directly from an uploaded photo or image.
- **Design app integration:** Sends colors to Photoshop and Illustrator, with a Sketch plugin and a PopClip extension.

## FAQ

**Is Aquarelo a subscription?**

No — it’s a one-time $12.99 Mac App Store purchase with no subscription or in-app purchases.

**What makes Aquarelo different from a screen color picker?**

It generates a harmonious palette between two colors you supply, rather than sampling colors off your screen — use it alongside a picker like Sip or ColorSlurp, not instead of one.
