In today’s online world it is not optional to ensure that all you do is accessible to all. One big part of accessibility is color choice. I am not color blind but I can’t tell you how often I have been on sites where I can’t read the text due to poor choices of color. Pika solves for that and is extremely easy to use. Pika allows you to see how your color choices contrast and how appropriate (or not) they are to use to be compliant. When I am working on anything online, I always have Pika open. Can’t overstate the importance of this or how useful Pika is.

A really simple solution to a regular problem. Brand colour palettes can often be painful to remember and this means I don't have to have several PDFs open to try and get the right colours for social posts.

Pika is a delightful and elegantly designed color picker. I use it all the time and love the built-in contrast ratio checker. Tons of small details that add up to it being a lovely experience every time I use it.

Reminds me why I switched to Mac in the first place—apps like this that are built with care, do one thing and do it well. I'm kinda amazed it's free and open source, that's even better!

Comparing colors side by side is very useful. Also, fast and only 8.4 MB.
