Dear world: In a shameless bid to make friends before WWDC, I’m releasing a new, open source color editor today: DevColor.

DevColor is a simple, graphical tool I built to make my life as an iOS, Mac and web developer better. For the past several months I’ve been using DevColor every day as a lightweight tool to generate color-representing strings in a variety of formats. Now you can too.

DevColor lets you choose colors graphically, and generates the UIColor, NSColor, Hex, RGB, and RGBA code to represent them. You can also paste in any color representing string in those formats, and DevColor will let you tweak it in a variety of ways, automatically generate complementary colors, and spit it back out in any format you wish.

You can get the full source of DevColor, under MIT license, for free on GitHub (here), or download a fully compiled version of the DevColor app that will run on your Mac, here.

Either way, check out the documentation for a quick overview of what DevColor can do for you.
