Bjango

Skala Color, originally developed by Bjango as a standalone utility for macOS, has evolved into a more comprehensive tool now known as Pinwheel. This Mac application is designed specifically for designers, developers, and anyone who works with digital color in their daily workflow. Pinwheel provides a set of practical, focused features that help users manage, convert, test, and generate color palettes with precision and control. One of its core functions is color format and color space conversion. Users can easily switch between common color models such as HEX, RGB, HSL, CMYK, and more. This is especially useful when moving assets between different design tools, web development environments, or printing workflows where color representation varies. For example, a hexadecimal code from a web design can be instantly converted to its corresponding CMYK values for print production, or an HSL value can be examined in terms of its RGB equivalent for better understanding of color behavior across monitors. Pinwheel also automates color contrast testing, a critical task for ensuring accessibility in user interface design. Instead of manually calculating contrast ratios between two colors, the app can instantly compute the WCAG (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines) compliance levels, including AA and AAA ratings. This helps designers quickly verify that text on a background meets readability standards for users with visual impairments. The tool can also suggest alternative colors or adjustments to achieve the required contrast ratios, saving time and reducing guesswork. Another significant feature is the ability to create beautiful gradients and palettes. Users can generate smooth linear or radial gradients by defining start and end colors, adjusting interpolation settings, and p
