ScreenBloom

Sync Philips Hue lights to your screen

ScreenBloom launched on January 31, 2018 with 4 votes. The site was still online in September 2026, 8 years on.

What it does

ScreenBloom is a free PC/Mac application that grabs the average color of your screen and sends that value to connected Philips Hue lights.

Each light adds another string of commands that the Hue bridge has to process before moving on to the next, so the fewer being addressed the more responsive ScreenBloom will be. To address more than 2 bulbs at once, set a small (0.1s) Update Buffer . This tiny pause will be undetectable to you but will give your bridge enough time to comfortably process all the commands being thrown at it. The Philips Hue Bridge V2.0 (square with rounded corners) has much better internal hardware than the V1.0 Bridge (circular). It's able to process commands much faster and makes for a hugely more responsive ScreenBloom (and Hue in general) experience. For the best results, make sure you're running…from kershner.org
