User reviews

Users find ColorFish useful for frontend development, especially appreciating its color history and simplicity. Some colorblind users benefit from its color names, but naming can be confusing. Common issues include the need for extra installations, laggy magnifying cursor performance, and poor window interface that distorts website display during color picking. Overall, it effectively picks colors but has usability and setup drawbacks noted by multiple reviewers.

  • Includes a history feature to track selected colors, appreciated by users.
  • Simple and does what it is intended to do effectively.
  • Helpful for users with colorblindness by providing color names.

  • Color naming can be unclear or inconsistent, making some colors hard to identify.
  • Resizable, movable, or flexible window interface is lacking, leading to a distorted or fixed display affecting website view during use.
