ColorSnap…My Favorite New iPhone App
Maura Desimone, from Color & Design Trends, recently discovered a new free iPhone App.
I got the coolest app for my iPhone today. Sherwin Williams, which happens to be one of my favorite paint stores, just sent me their new app – ColorSnap – for FREE. I downloaded it right away, so I could try it out. It does everything they say it does, and it’s super easy. This is how it works: You take a photo of something (anything) that has a color you’re interested in. It then shows your photo on the screen and you pinpoint one color in the variety of the colors in the photo. After you’ve selected the exact color you’re after, it provides you with a primary color and two secondary colors which are complimentary. It provides you with the name of the Sherwin Williams paint color it’s closest to (and it’s corresponding paint number). It also provides you with the RGB equivalent of the colors. You can then save the colors and even search for the nearest Sherwin Williams location.
I think this ColorSnap app is genius. Especially for a color freak like me.

I absolutely LOVE that app. I’m a digital scrapbooker and I use it to find colors for my pictures. I have been taking pictures of everything just to see what colors the app comes up with. I don’t need it for paint colors right now, but I know that if I do need paint, that is the first place I’m going to figure out what colors would work best.

Too fucking bad Sherwin-Williams is the devil. Soul-consuming pit of despair. Also, your website’s kinda lame….
