Hey Product Hunt š
Maker here. I built Color Scope because my color workflow was a mess.
I'd find a reference I loved. A film still, a painting, a photo, screenshot it, eyedrop colors in one app, paste hexes into Notes, recreate the palette somewhere else, then lose track of which palette went with which project. Repeat forever. Tools like Coolors are great for generating something from scratch in a browser, but they didn't help with the part I actually struggled with: living with colors over time. Capturing them when I saw them, refining them, and finding them again three projects later.
So Color Scope is built around that loop:
⢠Capture - pull colors from any reference, refine them, or build from scratch with harmony hints.
⢠Organize - group palettes into projects, search every swatch you've saved by name, hex, or feel.
⢠Return - pin the colors you're using right now in a quick-access panel, so they're one tap away while you work.
I also added a Design System mode for when a palette needs to grow up - generate tints, shades, and semantic tokens, then export straight to Figma Variables, CSS, SCSS, Tailwind, JSON, Swift, Android XML, and more. No copy-pasting hexes one by one.
It's native on iPad and Mac (not a web app, not a port), works with Apple Pencil, no account required, and collects zero data.
A few things I'd genuinely love feedback on:
What's missing from your current color workflow that no tool seems to handle?
For the design-system folks. Which export format would you reach for first, and is anything missing?
Is the pricing fair? (Free to try, Pro at $3.99/mo, $14.99/yr, or $39.99 lifetime.)
Happy to answer any questions today, and huge thanks to anyone who tries it š
