0to255 - find variations in your color
I’ve been experimenting with Rails lately, casually developing a color-centric web app in the after hours. I often brainstorm with my friend and fellow super-burrito-lover, Jungho, and he pointed me to this color tool he swears by, 0to255. I can’t believe I didn’t know about this earlier! I consistently find myself in Apple’s sub-par color picker, sliding the brightness up and down to find highlights and shadows, but I never feel confident in its results. Most of the time, the color picker adapts its hue to normalize the brightness when I return to readjust it. 0to255 addresses all of my qualms, providing a white-to-black fade of any color, with a dead-simple click-to-copy interaction. I also love that its URLs use the hex values (0to255.com/007998 is my jam). A tip of the hat to Shaun Chapman for developing and designing such a killer web app. We can never have too many makers out there.
