What is gpick?

The app is a comprehensive color picker and color scheme creation tool that empowers users to explore and manipulate color with a range of advanced features. At its core, the app allows users to create color palettes from images, leveraging a sophisticated color naming system that identifies the closest color name using the CIE94 color difference function, which is more closely aligned with human color perception than traditional methods
