ColorSquid
ColorSquid is a color scheme design tool for macOS that helps designers and artists quickly generate aesthetic color palettes. It offers multiple modes including a Color Wheel for exploring color relationships, a Color Mixer for blending colors, and a Color Variants tool for discovering related hues. The app includes a built-in Color Blindness Simulation to preview how people with different types of color blindness perceive a palette. Users can export colors in various formats including CSS, UIColor, and other palette file formats (OS X, PS), and copy colors directly to the clipboard. It is designed for designers, illustrators, developers and anyone creating visual content who needs to work with color harmonies.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionThe vendor explicitly states on their website that ColorSquid is a native Mac application with native UI and full system integration, and they emphasize that the software is actively maintained and improved regularly. Based on this information, ColorSquid appears to already run natively on Apple Silicon. If you are still running an older Intel-only version, download the current build directly from suborbital.io/colorsquid/ — the vendor's website will serve the native build for M-series Macs. Your existing palettes and preferences will be preserved after the update. If the app is not launching or reporting as Intel-only, ensure you have downloaded the version from the official site, as this will guarantee you have the latest native-capable build.
