Privacy
Photos never leave your device
Everything runs in your browser. Nothing is uploaded, stored, or tracked, and there are no accounts. Close the tab and it's gone.
Method
Computed, not copied
Naming is CIEDE2000 in Lab space, palettes are OKLCH, contrast is WCAG 2.x. The methodology page states every limit we can't compute away.
Honesty
Screens shift color
A photo carries its lighting and your display carries its calibration. For real-world matches, treat results as close references and confirm against a physical sample.
