This high-precision tool provides a thorough means to manage and transform colors. All tool panes operate from a single working color, with the representation of the working color varying by tool pane. This section serves as a reference guide for understanding each tool pane, listed below in alphabetical order:
The Colorblind tool pane allows you to simulate various types of colorblindness within the tool. Colorblindness occurs when one or more of the three types of cones in the eye (L for long, M for medium, and S for short wavelengths) do not respond to color signals as strongly as usual. The tool attenuates the signals these cones would receive, using the L', M', and S' values you provide to simulate how someone with colorblindness might perceive your colors. Although not perfect, this simulation provides a useful approximation of colorblind vision.
Tap the eye toggle to apply the colorblind simulation to all colors in the tool. To turn it off, tap the toggle again.
The color search tool pane shows the top three closest colors to the working color or closest to the search term you enter. It automatically updates as you change the working color and as you type the search term.
The search buttons display the color rectangle, the distance from the working color in the top right, and color attribute symbols in the bottom right.
To choose a palette, tap the book icon and select the palette name. If there are no palettes yet, the tool will prompt you to import one. Palettes can be imported in the following formats:
As you change the working color elsewhere in the tool, the three closest colors in the palette update in real-time. The closest color appears first in the list. The tool searches by working color when the text field is blank.
To search by color name, start typing part of the color name into the text field. The tool searches in real-time as you type. Searches are not case-sensitive, and you can clear the search field by tapping the X button.
To import a palette, tap the "Import Palette..." button. To remove the current palette, tap the "Remove Current Palette" button.
There are multiple methods for the way the tool searches for colors. Those methods are:
The color spaces you choose to display will depend on your needs. The Color Spaces tool pane allows you to add or remove color spaces as required. To manage color spaces:
To choose a color space, tap its button. Other tool panes will update accordingly to reflect the selected color space when applicable.
Below is a brief overview of color spaces, listed alphabetically:
The Components tool pane allows you to adjust the shade values of the working color directly. As you type in the shade values, the working color updates in real-time. You can also adjust the shade using the roll dial next to the field for precise control.
The bottom-most shade is always alpha (α). The alpha value specifies the transparency of the color. When adjusting the alpha component, the tool displays a transparency grid behind the color to help you gauge how transparent it is.
The Conversions tool pane displays the conversions for all color spaces you have selected in the Color Spaces tool pane. It updates in real-time as you modify the working color, allowing you to view the components of all selected conversions simultaneously. To copy the values to the clipboard (if your device supports it), tap the clipboard button.
The CSS tool pane lets you set and view the working color in the Cascading Stylesheet (CSS) format. Web pages use CSS to define color styles and other visual elements.
Select one of the following CSS color styles to control how the color appears in the text field:
The Difference tool pane displays the difference between the current working color and the previously captured working color. Two color swatches represent these colors, allowing you to view the components of each based on your chosen color space. Below the swatches, the tool shows the color difference values. To copy the difference values to the clipboard (if your device supports it), tap the clipboard icon.
To capture the current color as the previous color for differencing, tap the previous color swatch. If you wish to swap the current color and the previous color, tap the current color swatch.
There are multiple methods for the way the tool searches for colors. Those methods are:
As you change the working color, it may fall outside the gamut for some color spaces. Out-of-gamut means the color exceeds the acceptable range for one or more of its component shades.
The tool displays a button for each color space you have selected. If the working color is out-of-gamut, the button will turn red and display an X. To correct the gamut for that color space, tap the button. Currently, the tool uses a simple gamut clipping technique to bring the color back within the acceptable range.
The Harmonies tool pane displays color harmonies, with six different harmony types arranged in a ring. You can select any color from these harmonies to set as the working color. To add all colors from a harmony to your palette, tap the button with the plus symbol. To adjust the degrees used for the harmonies, either slide the degrees knob or tap it to edit the value directly.
The Ink tool pane displays how much ink is being used in the CMYK or CMY color space. It also allows you to adjust the total ink level (TIL), which determines the maximum amount of ink your medium can absorb before it begins to bleed. If one of the canisters overflows or the color is out-of-gamut, you can correct it by tapping the "Correct Ink" button. Whether three or four canisters are shown depends on whether you have selected the CMY or CMYK color space.
You can set the total ink level between one and ninety-nine, which limits the combined ink percentages for CMY or CMYK colors. A higher total ink level allows more ink to be used without causing bleeding on the medium. The default setting of 75 is typical for normal paper, as it balances rich color saturation with the paper's ink absorption capacity.
Note that TIL is not a percentage itself but a cap on the sum of the individual ink percentages (C, M, Y, and K) used. This ensures that the total amount of ink applied does not exceed the medium's capacity to absorb it, preventing over-saturation and ensuring clean, professional results.
Each color space, except for CMYK, can represent two of its three components on a two-dimensional graph. The Graph tool pane displays this graph along with the coordinates of your color. Since only two components can be shown at a time, an additional button and slider below the graph allow you to adjust the third axis. You can tap the button next to the slider to cycle through the axes. The working color is displayed to the left of the axis button for reference.
The xyY graph represents a chromaticity diagram, which shows colors in the xyY color space. The Y component represents luminance, while x and y are the color coordinates. You can adjust the luminance using the Y component slider. Unlike other color spaces, you cannot cycle through axes for xyY.
The chromaticity graph includes "Spectral Loci," which correspond to visible wavelengths of light. These loci form the horseshoe-shaped curve on the graph. The spikes extending from the shape represent major tick marks, where the longer spikes indicate 10°K increments and the shorter ones indicate 5°K. You can toggle this feature off in the options.
MacAdam ellipses display regions in the chromaticity diagram where the human eye struggles to distinguish between colors. Within each ellipse, the colors appear identical to most people. However, the tool's accuracy in displaying these ellipses may vary based on the settings. These ellipses are useful when designing RGB spaces and can be toggled off in the options. Note that MacAdam ellipses only appear on the xy chromaticity graph, as the original tests were conducted using this graph type. While it is possible to transform them for other chromaticity graphs, they tend to become distorted and less useful.
The RGB triangle shows the in-gamut range for the RGB color space. The points of the triangle correspond to the primary color coordinates, which can be adjusted in the Primaries sub-pane of the RGB Space tool pane. You can toggle this feature off in the options.
The white point dot indicates the location of the white point on the graph. You can adjust the white point in the White Point tool pane.
You can toggle grid lines on or off by tapping the "Grid Lines" toggle in the options.
For the xyY color space, you can choose between three different graph types.
The palettes tool enables you to create sets of color palettes that you can save and load on demand. You can also import and export color palettes from and to other tools. The tool always sorts palette colors by name, making it easier to find colors in the palette. If you need colors to be in a specific order, it is best to prefix the color names with digits, like 001, 002, etc.
To add the working color, tap the "Add Working Color" button, give it a name, and choose color attributes. If you have a large palette and have lost track of where the working color was, tap the search button to the right of the "Add Working Color" button. Note that the color must be an exact match. If you are looking to search a palette for near colors or by name, use the Color Search tool pane.
To choose a color, tap the color button. The color button includes a representation of the color, the color name, and the color attribute symbols in the bottom right.
To edit a color, tap the edit button to the right of the color. This will show the color editor, where you can change the name, replace the color with the current working color, correct the ink (if applicable), and select the color attributes.
To remove a color, tap the edit button to the right of the color. Then, tap and hold the remove button at the bottom left of the color editor.
Color attribute symbols provide additional information about the nature of the color, such as whether it is a process, spot, or global color:
Some color palettes contain thousands of colors by design. Testing of this color tool uses 5,000 colors as the upper limit. However, that limit is imposed by server data limits, not the tool itself. If you have color palettes beyond 5,000 colors, the tool may still be able to handle your palette in offline mode.
The Print Marks tool streamlines your printing setup by generating templates based on your selected palettes. This tool helps reduce setup time and ensures consistency across all designs.
You can navigate the tool using either the keyboard or the buttons at the bottom of the pane. Zoom controls allow adjustments between 1% and 1000%. To fit the page to the current view, tap the "Fit to Page" button next to the zoom control. You can move the page by enabling the move mode with the move button, or zoom in and out by dragging up or down using the zoom button.
Keyboard shortcuts for navigation:
To add color marks, tap the page edges where you want the marks to appear. When using a mouse, the section highlights in gray on hover. Color marks can also be customized in the options section (see Options: Color Marks).
Types of color marks available:
Adjust properties such as diameter, size, and stroke width by tapping the more button (three dots). To remove a color mark, tap and hold the "Clear Mark" button.
Tap the "Export as SVG" button to save your setup as an SVG file for use in other tools.
Select your preferred color space for color boxes from the options: CMYK, CMY, or RGB.
To adjust the page size, expand the "Page Size" section and enter the desired dimensions. You can also choose a preset or rotate the page by tapping the respective buttons.
Expand the "Art and Bleed Sizes" section to modify the dimensions for bleed and trim marks.
In addition to adding color marks directly, you can view all available marks by expanding the "Color Marks" section. Tap the button for the desired position to add a mark. Enable bleed and trim marks by toggling the corresponding options.
The Recent History pane shows the five most recently used colors. When you change a color, the tool automatically adds the previous color to the list of recent swatches—unless that color is already in the palette, in which case it won't add a duplicate. You can tap any of the swatches to quickly revert to a previously used color at any time.
The RGB space tool pane gives you precise control over the RGB color space you are using. It allows you to adjust the gamma, select presets or modify the primaries, change the source white point, and copy the transformation matrices.
To choose an RGB space preset, tap the button in the "RGB Space" group.
To change the gamma, tap the button in the "Gamma" group to choose between a simple linear gamma or the sRGB gamma. For linear gamma, you can enter the gamma value directly into the text field.
To adjust the primaries, tap the "Primaries" section button to expand the section. Then, enter the new primary values into the provided fields. You can observe how these primaries affect the color space in real-time by selecting the xyY color space and viewing the RGB triangle in the Graph tool pane.
To choose a source white point, tap the "Source White Point" section button to expand the section. You can enter the white point coordinates directly or select a preset by tapping the white point button. Additionally, you can choose between a 2° foveal or 10° peripheral white point by tapping the degree button next to the white point button.
You can view and copy the RGB/XYZ transformation matrices by tapping the "RGB / XYZ Matrices" section button. To copy a matrix as text, tap the "Text" button. To copy a matrix in array format suitable for code, tap the "Code" button.
The Sliders tool pane allows you to adjust the values of each component for the active color space you have selected, including color spaces that do not typically have sliders, such as XYZ. You can also enable quantization to limit the slider to specific intervals. A representation of the working color is shown to the left of the quantization toggle button for reference.
To adjust the components of the working color, tap and drag the slider. Each part of the slider represents a possible value for that component, allowing you to see how it will affect the color as you drag. The component type is displayed at the bottom left of the slider.
The quantization value sets the intervals at which the sliders snap. You can enter a custom quantization value in the text field, or tap the "WEB" button to apply standard web quantization. To toggle quantization on or off, tap the "q=" toggle button. When enabled, the sliders will snap to the selected interval as you drag them.
Some color spaces, like Luv, may show colors that have flipped over the x or Y axis. This is due to the nature of the range and representation of this color space, particularly with extreme values or certain hues.
Using sliders for color spaces like XYZ can be valuable in educational or classroom settings, even if they are not typically utilized in professional workflows.
The Temperature tool pane displays how the color temperature relates to the black body locus on a graph. The graph shows the locus line, the coordinates of your color, and major tick marks representing intervals of °K (Kelvin). It also displays a white point dot and guidelines to help maintain a consistent distance from the locus line.
You can adjust the color temperature by selecting coordinates on the graph, using the slider, or entering a value in the text field. The working color is shown to the left of the text field for reference.
This tool uses Robertson's method to determine color temperature. It calculates the temperature by interpolating between points on the black body locus. As your coordinates move farther from the locus line, the calculation becomes less accurate due to the nature of the interpolation.
The Wavelength tool pane lets you select a color based on the wavelength of visible light. You can adjust the wavelength using a slider or manually enter the value into a text field.
By default, the tool spreads the spectrum across the slider to create smoother color transitions. When the spectral loci are represented linearly, certain color bands appear more concentrated, similar to the way colors group in a rainbow. This concentration also explains why the spectral loci tick marks cluster at the corners of the chromaticity graph. You can toggle the "Spread Spectrum" option to switch between a spread or linear spectrum on the slider.
Due to the coarse nature of spectral loci data, the slider thumb may snap to a slightly different position after you release it. This effect is more noticeable when the spectrum is spread out.
The White Point tool pane allows you to adjust the destination white point. This white point determines how all colors are displayed within the tool, simulating different lighting conditions without altering the actual component values of the colors.
To choose a destination white point, tap the "White Point" button to expand the section. You can enter the white point coordinates directly or select a preset by tapping the white point button. Additionally, you can choose between a 2° foveal or 10° peripheral white point by tapping the degree button next to the white point button.
Adaptation types adjust how colors shift based on the selected white point. The tool supports three common chromatic adaptation models:
The Visualization tool pane allows you to view different representations of your palettes in various contexts. You can see how text and background colors match, view your entire palette at once, or display them as tiles with different shapes.
When displaying as background and text, you can change the foreground text color and background color by tapping the two left buttons. These buttons show two boxes with an "A" and an arrow pointing to either the foreground or background color. When you enable one of these buttons, the corresponding foreground or background will update as your working color changes. You can also cycle through text alignments and font families by tapping their respective buttons, and adjust the font size by entering the value or by using the roll dial. To add the foreground or background color to your palette, tap the plus button.
When displaying as a palette, the entire palette is shown within the available space, displaying all the colors. You can select any color by tapping on it. This view is similar to how most software tools display color selections. If a color appears more than once in your palette, all instances will be selected. An outline is placed around the chosen color to indicate it has been selected.
When displaying as patterns, you can choose from three patterns: Mosaic, Hexes, and Puzzle Pieces. This allows you to see your palette arranged in these patterns. Note that only the first five colors of your palette will apply to the patterns view.
YUV is a color space commonly used in video processing and broadcasting. Like other color spaces such as Luv, Lab, and xyY, YUV separates luminance (Y) from chrominance (U and V). This separation can limit the color range, optimizing for compression and transmission. The YUV space tool pane provides transformation matrices that you can implement in hardware.
You can select a known YUV space by tapping the button in the "YUV Space" group. The tool provides the following YUV space presets:
To edit the coefficients, tap the "Coefficients" section button. You can adjust the values of kr (red) and kb (blue), while the tool automatically calculates kg (green) based on the remainder. You can also choose to limit the range to YCbCr, a version of YUV used in video compression.
You can view and copy the RGB/YUV transformation matrices by tapping the "RGB / YUV Matrices" section button. To copy a matrix as text, tap the "Text" button. To copy a matrix in array format suitable for code, tap the "Code" button.
The tool will apply YUV space transformations to the colors in the tool only when you have selected YUV as the active color space.
Every color in this tool is based on the precise XYZ value of the color. When showing the value on the screen, it shows the most significant decimal places for the representation, so values are more precise behind the scenes than what you see. To do an exact comparison, enter the values into the components tool pane. Also, this tool uses the standard illuminants from the Standard illuminant Wikipedia® page, which have an additional digit that is often left out by many tools. For example, it is common to use xy (0.3127, 0.3290) for a D65 2° Illuminant. The Standard illuminant Wikipedia® page lists same illuminant as xy (0.31272, 0.32903). If you are comparing something like RGB / XYZ matrices, you can enter the less precise xy values into the white points tool pane for comparison. Finally, the source data itself may be different. For example, this tool uses spectral loci that are separated by one degree. Other tools may use a different set of spectral loci.

The accordion interface offers a flexible, responsive design optimized for both desktop and mobile devices. This guide covers its key features, helping you navigate and customize its layout and functionality.
Tool panes are organized into columns to maximize screen space and enhance workflow efficiency.
On wider screens, adjust the number of columns by tapping the "Add/Remove Column" buttons at the top of the first column. The "Expand/Contract All" toggle collapses all columns into one, providing more room for the focus area without altering the overall layout.
On narrower screens, like mobile devices, only one column is shown. Manage columns by tapping the buttons at the top of the accordion to expand or contract them. To streamline your workflow, collapse all columns, scroll to the desired section, and expand only that section.
To reposition a tool pane, tap and drag the "Move" button to place it before or after other panes. You can also drag a pane into the focus area for a detailed view (explained below). Tool panes can be expanded or collapsed by tapping their title buttons. Some panes include a "More" button for additional settings and configurations.
Tap the "Move" button to enlarge a tool pane in the right-hand focus area of the screen. This view provides a detailed perspective of the pane's contents. Depending on the pane’s functionality, it may automatically resize to fit the available space. You can instantly put the focused tool pane into fullscreen mode by tapping the fullscreen button.
On devices with multiple columns (like desktop screens), tapping the "Move" button places the tool pane in the focus area. On devices with only one column (such as phones in portrait mode), tapping the "Move" button will expand the tool pane to fullscreen mode.
Save or restore accordion layouts by tapping the "Import Layout" or "Export Layout" buttons. This feature lets you back up your current layout or apply a previously saved configuration, enhancing usability across sessions.
On wider screens, with multiple columns displayed, you can expand or contract all columns at once by tapping the buttons located at the top of the interface.
Customize your workspace with several layout management features. You can move all tool panes to the first column, sort them alphabetically by title, or optimize the layout based on screen size. Sorting by title organizes panes alphabetically within each column, while optimizing the layout adjusts the arrangement to keep panes visible and in their current order.
Pin a tool pane to keep it as the first pane that doesn’t scroll with the rest of the content. This allows you to always keep it visible while interacting with other views. To pin a pane, expand it and tap the "More" button (three dots), then toggle the pin option. You can focus on a pinned pane or dismiss pinning by tapping the "Pin" button next to the "Expand" button. Moving a tool pane will also cancel pinning.

Your privacy is important, and this Privacy Policy explains how information about you is collected, used, and disclosed by the Company when you visit the website https://www.aheadsheep.com (the "Site") and use the Company's services (collectively, the "Services").
Consent to this policy: By accessing or using the Site and Services, you consent to the collection, use, and disclosure of your information as described in this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with any part of this policy, please discontinue use of the Site and Services immediately.
Questions or concerns: If you have any questions about this Privacy Policy, please contact the Company.
The Company collects minimal information to provide services to users. This includes:
Email Address: The email address you provide during account registration. This is used solely to uniquely identify your account and ensure that your data is kept separate from other users' data.
IP Address: IP addresses may be collected for security, fraud detection, or performance monitoring purposes. These may be stored temporarily in access logs for the following purposes:
IP addresses may also be collected by third-party service providers, such as advertising or analytics partners, as part of their services. The Company does not store IP addresses in any databases for tracking or profiling purposes.
Analytics data is collected and processed only in non-identifiable form, ensuring that individual users cannot be identified based on their site interactions. For analytics purposes, the Company records interactions only at an hourly granularity, rather than exact timestamps, to further ensure user anonymity.
Password: Your password is securely stored using advanced encryption methods to ensure that unauthorized access to your account is prevented.
Retention and Deletion Policy: If you choose to delete your account, your information will be retained for 30 days to allow for potential reactivation. During this time, you can reactivate your account by logging in again, but a confirmation code will be required. Only your registered email address will be able to reactivate the account. After 30 days, your data will be permanently deleted from the servers, though it may remain in securely stored backups for legal compliance.
Third-Party Advertisers and Tracking Technologies: The Company does not share personal information with third-party advertisers but allows limited data collection through tracking technologies for ad performance and insights. The Company's server-based analytics only record anonymized, hourly interaction data to protect user privacy without tracking users individually. Users may manage ad tracking preferences through the CookieBot consent tool.
Google Analytics is used with IP anonymization enabled, ensuring that IP addresses are anonymized in compliance with GDPR and other privacy regulations. No personal data, including IP addresses, is stored by the Company for tracking or profiling purposes.
To manage tracking and data collection, the Company uses Cookiebot to allow users to control their consent preferences. Users may choose to disable certain types of tracking by adjusting their preferences through the Cookiebot consent management tool.
For more details, please refer to the Cookie Policy.
Security Measures: The company uses encryption and other security measures to protect sensitive personal data where appropriate.

While measures are in place to protect user information, no security system is impenetrable. Therefore, the absolute security of user data cannot be guaranteed. Users are encouraged to take steps to protect their personal information, such as using strong passwords and keeping login credentials confidential.
The Company further enhances data privacy by collecting interaction data only at an hourly level, avoiding exact timestamps to minimize the potential for individual identification.
If there are any questions about data security, please contact the Company.
Retention period: The Company will retain your personal data only for as long as is necessary for the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy. Personal data will be retained to comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce agreements and policies. IP addresses, when collected in access logs or by third-party services, are retained for a limited time to monitor security and performance, after which they are automatically deleted or anonymized.
Retention of Access Logs: Access logs, including IP addresses, are retained for a period of 90 days and are automatically deleted afterward. The collected data is securely stored and only accessible to authorized personnel. After deletion, the data is irretrievable and permanently removed.
In cases where legal obligations arise, such as a request from law enforcement, the Company may retain access logs beyond the standard retention period to comply with legal processes. In such cases, retention will be extended only for the duration necessary to comply with those legal obligations.
Legal Compliance: The collection of IP addresses in access logs complies with applicable legal requirements, including GDPR and CCPA. This data is collected and retained only for security and operational purposes.
Account deletion: If you choose to delete your account, your personal data will be retained for 30 days to allow for reactivation. After this period, your data will be permanently deleted from the servers, although it may remain in securely stored backups for legal compliance.
