The Hue vault: Color Palette

Capture color from the world, build palettes you can trust, and hand them to any design tool. Hue vault runs entirely on your device: no account, no subscription, no tracking. NEW IN 4.0 • Swatch files: export any palette as Adobe Swatch Exchange (.ase), GIMP/Inkscape palette (.gpl) or Procreate swatches (.swatches). • Import palettes from .ase, .gpl and .swatches files, or paste any text and keep every #hex, rgb() and hsl() code it contains. • Library backup and restore: save every palette to one file. Restoring adds missing palettes and never changes or deletes the ones you have. • More color values: HSB/HSV, CIE L*a*b*, LCh and XYZ, plus a clearly labeled naive CMYK. • Accuracy pass: all 148 CSS named colors now match the CSS specification, text on swatches picks the higher-contrast color, and the app follows your Dynamic Type size. CAPTURE Point the camera to read the color under the loupe, or pick a photo and extract a palette on-device. PALETTES Tap any swatch for HEX, RGB, HSL, OKLCH and the nearest color name, each one tap to copy. Build harmonies (complementary, split complementary, analogous, triadic, square, tetradic, monochromatic), tint and shade ladders, gradients and light-to-shadow ramps. Organize with tags, favorites, text search and search by color. ACCESSIBILITY Check every color pair with WCAG 2 contrast ratios and APCA Lc values, preview protanopia, deuteranopia, tritanopia and achromatopsia (Machado 2009 model), find pairs that become hard to tell apart, and nudge a foreground color until it meets your chosen target. Pairwise contrast does not certify a whole interface; text size, weight and real usage still matter. DESIGN SYSTEMS Generate a 50–950 scale from one color for light or dark mode. Copy palettes as CSS variables, CSS oklch() with P3, Tailwind, SwiftUI/Xcode color sets, Android and Material XML, DTCG design tokens, Figma tokens JSON or SVG swatches. Palette Revisions compares two versions and flags contrast regressions. SHORTCUTS Generate a scale, build a shading ramp or extract colors from a photo in the Shortcuts app. Everything stays on your device unless you choose to share or export it. Built for iPhone and iPad. The app interface is in English.
