Hexee For Linux

If you're in a pinch and you're looking for a color tool/ palette picker for your project, a quick Google search will most probably yield decent results.

However, if you're a UI or product designer, or just a web artist that loves finding those perfect color combinations for your projects, then clearly a more advanced tool is required.

Meet Hexee, a modern, stylish, but more importantly, extremely capable color tool that works on all major OSes out there.

Yes, it is that good. In fact, it may just be better than you expect. For starters, it packs a lot of useful features.

Take, for example, the awesome, full-featured color scheme editor. With its help, you can create, edit, organize, and tweak color schemes, fine-tine colors, and even pick colors directly from the screen.

With the help of the Mixer feature, you can generate color tints, variations, and shades, as well as combine them. You can also create color schemes for data visualization (such as maps or charts), as well as check the color cotrast for accessibility purposes (check if a color for a text is easily readable against a particular background).

Another nice-to-have feature is the color blindness simulator. As its name suggests, it allows you to simulate how people with impaired vision or various types of color blindless see specific colors compared to a person with normal color vision.

If all that is not enough, and if you're maybe running out of ideas, then the random palette feature will come to your resque, as this app can also generate random, aesthetically pleasing color schemes for you.

Without a shadow of a doubt, the GUI is one of the highlights of the app, but not for the most obvious reasons. Yes, the GUI is modern and stylish, but it's also remarkably customizable and functional.

For example, all colors can be dragged and dropped between the available tools and palettes. Colors can also be tagged and named. If you're not feeling up to it, the app can come up with very nice suggestions, a very useful feature especially when exporting colors.

Last but not least, the advanced workspace editing. Not only can you duplicate and reorder color schemes, but you can create the perfect workplace for your workflow.

Hexee is a a prime example of an app done right. Not only does it pack a ton of useful tools, it's also light, user-friendly, but also very flexible.

For such a small app to have this much going for it is pretty rare, which is also why the app is not free. You can try it out to make sure it fits your needs with no restrictions for 30 days and, if you like it, you'll be required to pay a modic one-time payment to continue using it.
