# Edit Colours
Dial in the perfect colour with powerful colour editing tools. Use different slider modes to adjust colours. Quickly grab a pre-defined colour from the swatches panel, grab recently picked colours, or find colour harmonies based on the colour you're editing.
# Palettes
Name and organise your colours into palettes. Drag an image anywhere into ColorSlurp's window to automatically generate a palette. Sync your palettes between all your Macs and iOS with iCloud, and export them to Plain Text, CSS, ASE, CLR, Sass, Swift, HTML, JSON, PDF, PNG, Xcode Assets, JSON, and more!
# Contrast Checker
Instantly check the contrast between two colours using WCAG 2.0 guidelines. Creating accessible designs has never been easier!
# Colour Formats
One-click copies a colour to hexadecimal or for any other language you need. You can even create your own custom formats!
# Slurp Colours in, Spit them out!
Paste a colour directly into ColorSlurp from the clipboard to edit it. ColorSlurp recognises all of its built-in formats, including your custom formats. Once edited, use shortcuts to copy the colour to your preferred format, or drag colours directly to your favourite apps.
