hue.tools – open-source toolbox for colors

hue.tools was created after spending way to much time trying to find the right tools when working with colors. It's an attempt to create a simple but useful toolbox for common color related tasks and problems. While it's in no way perfect or provides the tools for every use case, it has served me well in the last few months and I hope it will be useful for some of you as well.
