The ColorSpace story

Bridging physical swatches with digital color intelligence.

ColorSpace combines computer vision, LAB color science, and traditional harmony theory so artists can move between sketchbooks and screens without losing fidelity.

Pillars of the platform

What makes ColorSpace different from traditional palette generators.

• Harmonies are computed in LAB space, not RGB, so perceptual distance stays consistent.

• Every swatch is tied back to a physical marker via ColorBase metadata.

• Tritone expansion gives you ready-to-use highlights and shadows for print or digital.

• Integrated education keeps teams aligned on terminology and technique.

Mathematical precision

LAB color space calculations and Delta E 2000 matching keep every palette scientifically honest.

Traditional theory meets modern tools

Complementary, analogous, triadic, and split-complementary models—all enhanced with modern smoothing.

Perceptual accuracy

Display calibration, color-gamut awareness, and tritone expansion ensure palettes feel right to the eye.

Tritone expansion

Highlights target 85 L* in LAB space for natural brightness
Shadows target 45 L* to maintain depth without banding
Base colors stay anchored to their original marker readings

ColorBase analysis pipeline

High-resolution scan ingestion with lighting correction
Noise reduction and patch segmentation tuned for marker texture
Automated brand tagging and version history for every upload

Our mission

Democratise professional color theory by giving artists accessible, mathematically precise tools tied to the markers they already own.

Built for teams

Studios, schools, and hobby collectives rely on ColorSpace to keep physical swatches and digital comps in sync.

Education first

Integrated lessons and workshops teach the math behind every harmony as you create.
