Research Point 2

For this research point, I was given a list of software’s to explore that are used for colour matching. The list includes:

• Adobe Colour
• MudCube Colour Sphere
• Colour Halipixel
• ColRD

I selected an image to use on each software. Starting at the top of the list with Adobe Colour, you simply upload the image to the software and it pulls out the colours used in said image. The first image is the colour gradient whereas the second image is the colour theme. There isn’t an option to have more colours selected than the five in the second image so its not precise.

The next software I used was MudCube Colour Sphere. This one was difficult to use and there didn’t seem to be an option to add your own image, you could only change the selection of colours.

Colour Halipixel is another software which was difficult to navigate. There was no where to add your own image, you had to use your mouse up and down or side to side and click to select the colour. Neither of these websites were user friendly as there was no tutorial or instructions on how to use them.

ColRD was the best one from the list in opinion. You upload your image and it picks out the colour palette for you. It gives you 78 different colours pulled from the image alongside the image itself. It then gives you 5 colours along the top which are the main colours used in the image. I prefer this software than any of the others because it is more precise.
