In plain words

ColorMe is a visualization tool for the CSS Color Function, a forthcoming CSS feature still in draft specification. It provides a user interface for applying adjustments to base colors and displaying the results visually. Users can experiment with the proposed syntax today using the color function PostCSS plugin or cssnext, which integrates the css-color-function package. The tool was inspired by SassMe and aims to simplify working with color adjustments in CSS.

From the sources

ColorMe is a site I built to make working with the CSS Color Function easier. It provides a UI for applying adjusters to a base color and gives a visual of the adjustments. The excellent SassMe was my inspiration. The Color Function is a CSS feature in editor's draft stage of specification. This means it will be a while before it lands in any browser. That doesn't mean you can't use the proposed syntax today though. You can use the color function PostCSS plugin. That plugin is also included in cssnext if you want access to more future-facing CSS. The plugin uses the css-color-function package for its parsing and converting. I wrote about switching this site to PostCSS. That was my first…from tylergaw.com
