About ColorU: Colors with Stories
Every color has a name and a story. Not a cold #C41E3A, but "Rouge" — extracted from safflower, worn as lip color since the Han dynasty. ColorU brings you 57 curated libraries and 580+ colors with real heritage: Chinese and Japanese traditional colors, imperial dynasties, ukiyo-e, Morandi, and the palettes of Van Gogh and Monet — each with a name, a meaning, and an origin. COLOR OF THE DAY Meet a new color with a story every day. It syncs to a home-screen widget, and you can browse past days. PAIRINGS THAT TELL A STORY Recommendations are real, named library colors — not bare hex. Generate a full scheme, lock the colors you love, and reshuffle the rest. CAPTURE FROM LIFE Extract colors from any photo or your camera into a palette. TOOLS YOU CAN READ WCAG contrast checks and live color-blindness simulation help you build palettes that look good and work for everyone. COLORU PRO Enjoy the daily color, the full cultural library with stories, and core capture and favorites for free. Upgrade to Pro for color projects & design tokens, code export (CSS/Swift/JSON/ASE), the contrast matrix, saving & exporting schemes, unlimited AI palettes, and watermark-free share cards. ColorU Pro offers yearly and monthly subscriptions plus a lifetime unlock. Subscriptions renew automatically; cancel anytime in App Store settings.
