Creating beautiful websites is something that extends beyond a developer’s aesthetic sense since there are actual tools you can resort to in order to assess the success rates of your chromatic approach.

Visual Colour Selector is one such software utility that enables you to preview colors from both built-in and third-party palettes so that you can easily copy their names and RGB values for subsequent use in web design and more.

The first thing you need to be aware of as regards the application is that installing it is a hassle-free process anyone should handle, at the end of which, a straightforward user interface meets you.

The program’s main purpose is to help you preview colors and experiment using a custom palette, one of the eight built-in ones or two third-party packages that should cater to the needs of people suffering from color blindness.

And since we have touched upon the subject, users should know that simulating the chromatic effect of an image as seen through the eyes of someone suffering from color blindness is possible, which means creating color palettes optimized for protanopia, tritanopia, or deuteranopia can be done.

As for precisely how the program can be of use, you should know that it allows you to copy to clipboard color names along with their RGB values either in hex or decimal format.

Aside from that, you can select a subcategory of colors and filter the selected palette in order to optimize it for visual separation. Note that CIE Delta-E color separation standards are employed in this regard.

What’s more, generating palettes comprising random color is possible, but you can also specify various parameters such as saturation, hue, and more. Besides, inspecting the contrast light and dark colors create is an option if you want to rely on WCAG 2.0 criteria.

Regarding the supported output file formats you can save your palettes to, we should mention that X11, ACO, ASE, JASC PAL, and GIMP are on the list.

Visual Colour Selector is a handy application you may resort to if you want to be in full control of the visual impact the colors you use in your web design quests have on viewers. The program lets you preview colors and work with multiple palettes, helping you optimize them for a flawless user experience.
