About

The NbColorMixer is a small version of our ColorMixer application. Its UI has been kept as small as possible. It is licensed under terms of GNU General Public License.

How it works

You select one color (using JColorChooser or manually) and it'll calculate 8 colors that happen to match the current one (three of them will be shades of gray). The result is by no way as good as those a professional designer would achive, but it is "quite fine" for most uses.

The entry-field for the color supports multiple input formats.

It is almost 100% compatible with CSS2-Standard, thus it supports hexadecimal input ("#0000FF", for "blue"), shorthand hexadecimal input ("#00F" instead of "#0000FF"), integer based input ("(0, 0, 255)" instead of "#00F") as well as color names (supported are: "white", "lightGray", "gray", "darkGray", "black", "red", "pink", "orange", "yellow", "green", "magenta", "cyan", "blue" - all names are case sensitive).

You may also save a set of colors to a disk. the format is as simple as a list of supported color values, each on a line of its own - note: This format is not compatible with ColorMixer!
