DarkColors — Test your color ideas in real time.
Many times, I've been working on a project and wondered if a specific color combo I had in mind would look good. Before, I had no way to test that idea without opening VSCode or Figma. Now, I can do it in a minute. Welcome to DarkColors.

Hi @dcodes just had a look through the app. I do like the idea, but I find the UI a bit complicated to use. Not really sure what things I can custom edit. I think it would be nice to have more themes to start from, and then pick individual colours for each item.

@jsteneros Those are good suggestions. Making it more clear which elements can be edited would definitely make the app more easier to use. Regarding more themes and color palettes, we plan on releasing those as well, and including a paid option with more features. Thanks Johan! Is this an app that you would use again?
As designers and developers, many times we think of new screen and color ideas as we work. Normally, if you wanted to test a new color idea, you might pop open Figma and design a quick screen. Or maybe you would open VSCode and change the CSS of your screen to see if your idea looks good. I've done this many times.
The problem is, this can take too much time, and you may end up not even going with your original idea. Now you've lost five to ten minutes of work time. Plus, a design on Figma does not necessarily have the same feel as a real application on the web. I've had many color ideas that I would like to quickly test, and so DarkColors was created for that purpose.
Whether dark or light mode, whatever color ideas you may have, you can quickly test and prototype here on a real screen, without having to design or code them.
