Guide Review - HTML Colors - iPhone App Review

Color themes are important to Web designs, but many times a palette that looks good as swatches doesn't work as text color on a background. This simple iPhone app shows you exactly what two colors look like together as text and background.

This would be the perfect color app for Web designers with just a few adjustments:

  • Display palettes with more than 2 colors, such as text, background, highlight, and alternate text
  • Export colors via email or color files
  • Save multiple palettes to review later
