ColorHive

ColorHive is a native color palette workspace for designers, developers, and creators. Build beautiful palettes, extract colors from photos, fine-tune colors with precision controls, check accessibility contrast, and export your colors into the formats you actually use.

Whether you are designing an app, building a website, creating a brand kit, or collecting inspiration from the world around you, ColorHive keeps your colors organized across iPhone, iPad, and Mac.

Create and manage palettes
Build palettes for apps, websites, brands, client projects, UI themes, illustrations, and more. Rename palettes, add colors, duplicate palettes, favorite your best sets, and keep your color library easy to browse.

Edit colors with precision
Fine-tune each color using hex values, RGB controls, HSB controls, opacity, color roles, and native Apple color picking tools. Copy color values instantly when you need them.

Extract colors from photos
Choose an image from your photo library or take a new photo, then let ColorHive pull out the key colors. Save extracted colors as a new palette or use them as inspiration for your next design.

Check contrast
Compare foreground and background colors with a built-in contrast checker. Quickly see whether your color pair works for readable text and accessible interfaces.

Generate color harmony
Explore complementary, analogous, triadic, split-complementary, monochromatic, tint, and shade combinations from any selected color.
