SHÄDZ

Masterpiece-quality color palettes, from camera to computer, in seconds.

Satisfy your inner designer.

People all around the world, including editors at Tested, c|net, and MakeUseOf, favorably reviewed SwatchMatic. Now SwatchMatic has a cousin app called SHÄDZ, a free, fun, even newer way to capture, combine and share the colors you need for your website, startup logo, or kitchen makeover.

See a color you like, grab it. Whenever. Wherever.

Your Android's lens becomes a Terminator eye that can tell you the name of any color you point at.

Harmonize effortlessly.

Sample colors from the world around you, then choose from a series of palettes auto-generated from your color. Find dominant colors, analogs, complements, or triads, and, more interestingly, the closest matching palettes from over 7,000 famous paintings. Once you're happy with the combo, just touch to save it as a palette. Your swatch book is always with you.

Tweak colors all you like. Right on your Android.

Use the sleek color picker to explicitly set HSV values.

Shoot colors straight into Photoshop and Illustrator (now free for all!).

Save your palettes and share them as images using a variety of apps on your device (FaceBook, Twitter, DropBox, etc.). Or export your palettes as Adobe Swatch Exchange files direct to most Adobe applications. It takes just seconds get your colors into an Adobe swatch pane. No typing required.
