Culrr: a color picker by Brandon Wang
Colors are such a crucial part of any design piece, and what I’ve often found is that the selection of such colors play a very important part. Therefore, it makes sense to have a very good color picker.
Harnessing the power of Steven Witten’s Farbtastic (the actual color picker you see) and then some of my own code, I’ve created culrr, which lets you see the color you’ve chosen on a very large scale.
What I’ve noticed is that very rarely do color pickers display the color you choose in a very large fashion, and I regularly scour the Internet searching for a suitable color picker. In the past, I used to use the demo on the Fartbastic page. Then I found Chir.ag’s Name That Color and used that for the color picker, not for the actual color-honing abilities (which are excellent, by the way).
In the future, I will also add on support for RGB values. I’ll probably also implement some other features, depending on public support. I built culrr for myself to use, and I wanted to release it as an act of kindness.
On a side note: Please don’t use Culrr for your super-important color-picking use. I find it’s good enough for web design, etc. It may not be good enough for whatever it is you are using. I can’t be held liable for anything. Don’t sue me.

you’re using this as the color changer for the passpad screen aren’t you?
Actually, no.
