Dot Swatch
Capture colour. Build palettes
$0.99 · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Colour inspiration can disappear in an instant.
DotSwatch helps you capture colour from the real world, photos and imagination, then organise it into digital palettes that are ready whenever you need them.
Open the camera and DotSwatch analyses the scene in real time to generate a stable colour palette. Freeze the current palette, select a colour, save the complete set, or take a photo to use as a colour reference later.
You can also import a photo from your library, use the eyedropper to sample any point precisely, or automatically extract the image’s representative colours.
KEY FEATURES
• Generate palettes live from the camera
• Freeze, select and save real-time colour sets
• Automatically extract representative colours from photos
• Pick an exact colour from any point with the eyedropper
• Adjust colours with the disc, sliders and HEX values
• Explore colour relationships and recently used colours
• Create, edit and manage personal palettes
• Send palettes directly to DotShake
• Sync palettes across devices with iCloud
• Follow the system appearance, or choose light or dark mode
PRIVACY
Camera frames and photos are analysed on your device. Photos are not uploaded for colour sampling. When iCloud sync is enabled, only your palette data is synced.
Whether you discover a colour combination in the street, look for inspiration in a photo, or prepare accurate colours for illustration and design, DotSwatch makes collecting colour simple, fast and natural.
