COLOR WORKBENCH FOR MAC

Weeko Color

Pick any screen color, build tonal scales, verify contrast, simulate color vision, and keep reusable color references in one focused Mac workspace.

Usage guide

Picked colors and saved palettes stay on this Mac unless you choose to export or share them.

PICK, TEST, REUSE

Turn a screen pixel into a working color system

Weeko Color keeps capture, analysis, and organization together so a useful color can move directly into design or development work.
  1. 01

    Pick or enter a color

    Sample a pixel anywhere on screen, use the system color panel, or enter a HEX value.

  2. 02

    Inspect the result

    Review RGB and HSB values, tonal steps, contrast ratios, and color-vision simulations.

  3. 03

    Copy or save it

    Copy the format you need, favorite a color, or keep it in the local recent-color library.

COLOR MATRIX

Build a usable scale from one color

Generate lighter and darker steps with stable labels, then copy values individually for design tokens, styles, or implementation notes.

Screen and system pickers

Sample directly from the display or choose through the familiar macOS color panel.

Tonal matrix

Create balanced light-to-dark suggestions from the active color without maintaining a spreadsheet.

Format conversion

Move between HEX, RGB, RGBA, HSB, and HSL representations without re-entering values.

Copy-ready values

Copy the active color or an individual matrix step directly into the app where you need it.

CONTRAST AND LIBRARY

Check readability, then keep the colors that work

Compare text and background colors, preview common content, simulate color-vision conditions, and organize recent or favorite colors locally.

WCAG contrast results

See the ratio and AA or AAA outcomes for normal and large text before a color reaches production.

Live content preview

Evaluate a practical title, body, and button example instead of relying on the ratio alone.

Color-vision simulation

Preview several common color-vision conditions to catch distinctions that depend only on hue.

Recent and favorites

Keep picked colors in a local history and pin useful values to a separate favorites collection.

LOCAL BY DESIGN

Color analysis does not need an account

Core picking, conversion, contrast, simulation, history, and favorites run on your Mac. Weeko Color does not upload your screen or palette library to Weeko Team.

  • The picker reads only the pixel you deliberately sample after granting Screen Recording access.
  • Recent colors, favorites, and preferences are stored locally and can be cleared from the app.
  • Feedback includes basic version and system details only; color libraries are not attached automatically.

Questions before choosing a color

Why does a color picker need Screen Recording permission?

macOS protects access to screen pixels with this permission. Weeko Color uses it only while you start and operate the screen picker.

Are my recent and favorite colors synced?

No. The current app has no account or cloud sync. Those collections remain in the app container on this Mac.

What contrast standards are shown?

The inspector reports WCAG-style contrast ratios and AA or AAA outcomes for normal and large text. It is a design aid, not a formal compliance certification.

Can I convert between common color formats?

Yes. The active color can be represented in common formats including HEX, RGB/RGBA, HSB, and HSL, with copy actions for reuse.

Make color decisions with context

Pick a real screen color, test it against practical content, and keep the result ready for the next design or build step.
