Cone is a delightful and easy to use color picker and organizer for the real world. Cone also lets you identify PANTONE colors of objects without the need of expensive spectrophotometers or PANTONE Capsure.

Congrats on the launch! Have been following Cone's progress since the first version, lovely to see how far it's come. PS: Love the new categories design, will update Cone on UI Sources soon! https://uisources.com/app/cone

Looks like a great new implementation of a colour picker. Have sent a DM on Twitter 😉

I've been using Cone 2.0 for a few days now and I have to say it is a joy to use. Being able to select live colours using the camera, or a photo from my library, is super easy and once captured seeing the different breakdowns on one screen is really handy. Tapping on the colour breakdown copies it to the clipboard, so I can just paste the colour breakdown on my MacBook using Handoff. Also showing the closest Pantone® match to any selected colour is something I have never seen in an app before. I can see how this would be really helpful for graphic designers and will be recommending to my peers as I’m sure they could benefit from this feature alone. Being able to create my own colour buckets is also really helpful, so I can save collections of colours based on projects. I can honestly say that Cone 2.0 is the easiest to use and most feature laden colour picker for iOS that I have ever had the pleasure of using. Thank you @kushsolitary.

Hi PH, A couple of years back, I launched the initial version of Cone on PH and had received a great response. Cone is a smart color picker tool for the iPhone, which is delightful and very easy-to-use. Not only that, but it also lets you organize colors into buckets and identify PANTONE colors of the object around you (super helpful for interior, graphic, or package designers). Cone is licensed by PANTONE, so it stays updated with all the new colors they release on time. Another feature I'd like to highlight is the ability to identify hues of the colors around you. As a colorblind designer, it's super helpful for me to know whether a color is red or green just by pointing my phone's camera at it. Since the initial version, a lot has changed and here's what the new version brings: - Ability to identify PANTONE colors - Pick colors from the images in the photo gallery - Collect and organize colors into buckets - Adjust the color temperature with a neutral grey card for improved accuracy - New design - Apple Watch companion app - and many under the hood improvements. Quick demo of the app:
I am also giving away 5 promo codes for some of you to test it out. Just DM me on twitter (https://twitter.com/kushsolitary) and I'll send them over (randomly selected). I would love to hear what everyone thinks about it!

@kushsolitary is one of the most phenomenal product designers I've ever met, and Cone stands as a tribute to that.
