A Color Story is a photo-editing app that, as you may glean from the name, is all about eye-catching, mood-defining, screen-popping color.

The app has more than 300 fashionable filters to explore, plus deep customization options to create your own filters. It’s all the product of the creators of the hip do-it-yourself blog A Beautiful Mess, with an aesthetic to match.

Make your floral photos pop with filters like Hot Toddy and Peach Tea.

The Essentials filter pack offers presets like Ice Ice (for deeper shadows and cooler color) and Ruby Haze (which adds an enchanting fade to photos). The spunky Good Vibes filter pack runs the gamut from the contrasty, orange-hued Magic Hour to the bright, crisp Disco Ball. 

Some filters (like the two above) are free. Others you can buy individually. For access to all the filters, blending effects, and advanced color adjustment options the app offers, subscribe to ACS+.

Whether you’re into fashion photography, travel photos, or just snapping great pics of your friends and pets, this app’s filters will make the colors in your world stand out in any feed or chat thread.
