What you get
You get reusable color palettes and clearer text-and-background combinations.
With Sip, you can identify an exact color on your screen and save it in a palette instead of trying to recreate it by eye. You can collect several colors together, duplicate palettes for variations, and share them by email. A color dock keeps your chosen palette within reach along any edge of your screen.
When you move between design and coding apps, you get color values in formats suited to the software you’re using. You can also customize formats and use shortcuts to send a picked color to a supported app, including its fill or border controls. Snapshots let you return to colors you captured earlier.
You can check whether your text and background have enough contrast, then adjust brightness, hue, and saturation or use the automatic fix. That gives you a way to evaluate readability rather than relying only on how a combination looks.
