Color Stream [iPhone]

colourstream00000

Since the release of Color Expert for the iPhone in the early days of the AppStore, we have seen quite a large number of color creation apps come to the AppStore. Whether this be Adobe’s Kuler service or Color Lovers, one thing is for sure, designers love creating colour palettes.

Color Stream is a new iPhone application that adopts beautiful matt iphonesque interface delivering plenty of features at the right price. Color Stream lets you create and store color palettes, that are either created from scratch, or generated from a photo, or even auto-generated using our built-in color schemer (which supports analogous, monochromatic, triadic, and more). You can save save these, name them, and rate them for quick and easy access. Save any one of your palettes to your photo library (and have the option to make it your wallpaper), email it to whoever, as well as browse flickr for appropriate color-related pictures.

Where Color Expert provides a large number of features many may never use, Color Stream is based around palettes and recording colour ideas you have or are inspired by in the world. I found it very easy to experiment with, try out different combinations and not feel like I have with Color Expert that pressing the wrong button would suddenly change everything. Even if you have never used a color palette app, Color Stream is absolutely wonderful and a great start. Priced $2.99 compared to Color Expert ($9.99) should make the decision of purchasing a lot easier. Of course, if you feel that you are missing Pantone refs and some of the functionality Color Expert provides, you can always upgrade later.

I am personally very impressed and highly recommend it to every colour lover who hasn’t already purchased Color Expert. If you have, you may nevertheless appreciate the lesser features and clarity Color Stream provides.

      Was wondering if there was a way to use the camera to record color ideas. Like maybe take a photo and do an average of say a 10×10 pixel square. Can't wait to try the App…if I win. — @dhilowitz

      Very pretty. Pantone matching would of course be a huge plus, although I suspect that licensing of their colour books is a big part of why Color Export costs what it does.
