Does macOS have a built in feature like this ?

[bo-waleed]

I have a problem with my sight that sometimes I can't differ between colors like for example light green and light blue.

So what I want to know if there is a feature that's tells you what color the mouse is pointing at now.


Or is there some app that does this ?

Thanks.

I have never heard of such a feature. Macs support millions of colors. Colors are combos of red, green, blue which are referenced as numerical values of each… not words.

There's the builtin app Digital Color Meter:

You can look at the numbers to see which of R, G, or B is higher. If they're the same, or close to it, then the color isn't blue or green.

Some apps do that, for example PhotoShop you can use the “color picker” that lets you mouse over something and it gives you the exact RGB value. Most apps don’t.

There are of course Accessibility settings to improve contrast, etc - presumably you know about those already.

This Mac app appears to assign color names to the selections.

‎Chromalab: Color Picker

‎Chromalab offers several great features: * Show colors in between two selected colors * Select a color from ANYWHERE on the screen * Click-to-copy in several formats, including UIColor, NSColor, and CSS HEX

Maybe color-filters in accessibility settings can help you:

Change display colors on Mac to make it easier to see what’s onscreen

On your Mac, invert display colors, make transparent items solid, and modify how colors appear with color filters.

This is exactly what I want, Thank you.

But I wish it was built in feature.

This is great too, I have to highlight a spot then copy the color value as text, and then convert the value into color as text.

e.x I got a value like this: 18 18 18
then I posted in google: What color is 18 18 18

and a website called converting color says it's black color.


Or is there a color converting built in macOS too, ^_^
