My first native iOS app – Cone, a real time color picker

In plain words

Cone is a real-time color picker app for iOS that launched in 2017. It allows users to identify and capture colors from their camera view instantly. The app is designed for anyone who needs to match, reference, or collect colors from the physical world for design, art, or creative projects. Cone distinguishes itself by processing color selection in real time rather than requiring multiple steps or post-processing.
