Remember the colour picker tool where you could click on any
pixel from an image and recreate that colour somewhere else on your page? How
useful that was for when you really didn’t have the patience to spend an hour
picking the perfect shade from the RGB colour palette.
Well, things have really come along since then. For a
projected £90 you will soon be able to purchase the Scribble Pen - currently in
development with California developers Mark Barker and Robert Hoffman.
Available in either the ink or stylus versions, by simply pressing the colour
sensor against a desired surface of colour the pen will then draw in that exact
shade. Impressively, the pen will be able to recreate an estimated 16 million
variations of colour.Imagine what that will mean for designers everywhere!
When deciding upon colour palettes for apps and websites,
graphic designers could select inspiration from surfaces around them. In
collaborative design, rather than trying to explain, “a little bluer, no, a bit
greener,” it will become second nature to be able to express oneself visually.
I, for one, am looking forward to this pen making its debut
on the UK market!
