## Description

Color Meter is a powerful Chrome extension that transforms your smartphone camera into a real-time color picker and detector. It provides accurate color measurements across multiple color spaces including RGB, HSL, CMYK, RYB, and more, making it invaluable for artists, designers, architects, and photographers.

What sets Color Meter apart is its innovative white reference calibration, which compensates for lighting conditions to ensure precise and reliable color readings. Users can save measurements with comments, export data to CSV or PNG, and customize the interface by arranging and hiding color spaces. Supporting common standards and available in over 40 languages, Color Meter is ideal for color calibration, palette creation, color analysis, and research, all within an easy-to-use mobile tool.

## Review summary

Users appreciate the app's ease of use, one-time payment model, and features like white balance adjustment and color measurements in various formats. However, many report accuracy issues when compared to calibrated devices, with inconsistent and unreliable readings. Some users experience app crashes, and the white balance feature can be unintuitive and produce color casts. The app is generally seen as suitable for casual or rough color evaluations rather than professional-grade color accuracy.

### Pros

### Cons
