Hey Product Hunt! š
I'm an animation director who got tired of uploading reference images to
sketchy color picker sites just to extract palettes. So I built ColorMix.
The whole thing runs in the browser ā no backend, no upload, no signup.
Your images literally never leave your device.
Things I'm proud of:
⢠Magnifier lens ā Photoshop-style for pixel-precise color picking
⢠Region selection ā drag a rectangle, get the palette for just that area
⢠EyeDropper API ā system-wide color picking from anywhere on your screen
⢠50 hand-curated mood palettes for animation/illustration references
⢠Median-cut quantization runs in <50ms for a 200px image
It's free, no signup, no tracking. Just the auto-placed AdSense ads to
cover the ~$5/mo Vercel bill.
Honest limitations: no gradient generator yet, basic WCAG (no color
blindness sim), and no Figma plugin. All on the list.
Would love feedback from designers and illustrators who have workflow
needs I haven't thought of.
