Overview

Features & Capabilities

Color Screen is a beautiful iOS app that provides an excellent solution for displaying a color of choice on the iPhone/iPad screen at a brightness desired. It provides a wide range of colors to choose from. It can be used in any situation that requires a colored light with adjustable brightness.

You can also see the hex values and RGB values of the colors to transfer them easily to other editing softwares. The app also remembers last used color, so whenever you come back, it'll start right as you left it.

Possible uses -

  • Use for lighting macro photography scenes with literally as bright a colored screen as your iPhone/iPad would allow.
  • Use as red light for star gazing.
  • Use strobe function with a bright color to help others (friends, family, cabs etc.) locate you easily at crowded locations (movie theatres, clubs, parties, street side etc.)
  • Use for design purposes to get HEX and RGB values of desired colors.
  • Send color codes to others via text or copy to clipboard to paste to other apps.
  • If you received HEX code or RGB code for a color from somebody, easily enter it in the app to see what the color looks like.

Features -

  • Choose any color using hue, saturation and brightness sliders.
  • See the HEX and RGB codes of the selected color.
  • Update the HEX value directly to get a desired color on screen.
  • Update RGB value directly to get a desired color on screen.
  • No ads, no distraction on the screen. Minimal interface. 
  • Tap on the screen to hide the controls for purer color.
  • Tap on the HEX or RGB value of the color to copy them to clipboard and paste to any other app.
  • Double tap on the screen to add a color to the favorites list.
  • Swipe left on the main screen to retrieve your favorites list.
  • Tapping on a favorite brings up the color on the main screen.
  • Prevents screen from auto-dimming or locking when in use - ideal for long duration usage.
  • Provides a setting to turn up the screen brightness to maximum when in use and return to previous brightness level when the app is quit.
  • Remembers the last used color and starts right as you left it on the next use.
  • Strobe function allows the screen to flash with selected color in order to make it easy to spot.
  • The color of the screen can be changed while in strobe mode.

Please note that keeping the screen on for long durations or using the device at maximum screen brightness will affect your device's battery life significantly.

User Reviews

Users broadly praise Color Screen Unlimited for being ad-free, simple to learn, and visually minimal, with many noting it’s a fast, distraction-free color picker ideal for design work and web color codes. It’s seen as well written and easy to use. However, multiple reviews point to UI friction: controls that don’t reliably hide, and requests for RGB sliders and direct hex/color code input. Landscape handling was raised but not consistently echoed. Overall, the app delivers a clean, affordable color picker, but would benefit from UI reliability improvements and additional color-entry features.
Pros
  • Ad-free experience with no subscriptions or extra purchases.
  • Very intuitive and quick to learn; simple, user-friendly color picker.
  • Clean, minimalist interface focused on color selection.
  • Strong value; generally considered affordable for what it offers.
  • Useful for designers and web work, with quick access to color information for web use.
Cons
  • UI control behavior issues: controls do not reliably hide; tapping to hide sliders can move them instead.
  • Missing RGB sliders and direct hex/color code input; requests for these features appear in multiple reviews.

No ads, (so far) no subs, no additional purchases, all good things. BUT, ugly and awkward parameter settings and editing, and does not adapt properly to a landscape screen. On the iPhone, it just doesn’t do anything when the phone is in landscape — the controls do not move. On iPad in landscape, it presents a clipped intersection of the portrait format and the landscape screen — a green square with black bars on each side, instead of the expected full screen color panel. In Portrait on the iPad it fills the screen and rotates the controls to match.

I used to be able to tap the screen to clear the adjustment sliders, but now it just toggles the sliders position from the bottom to the middle. How do you make them go away? What happened?
