Brand Color Distance
Compare two colors and see how far apart they are numerically.
How far apart are two colors?
“Are these two blues actually different?” is surprisingly hard to answer by eye. This tool compares two colors and returns a numeric distance between them, so you can tell whether a brand color drifted, whether two swatches are effectively identical, or whether a pair has enough separation.
A measured distance is more reliable than a glance, especially for near-matches where monitors and lighting fool the eye. Use it to audit brand consistency, catch accidental duplicates in a palette, or confirm two states are visually distinct.
Accurate and private
Everything runs locally in your browser using standard web APIs — nothing is uploaded, logged, or stored on any server — so the tool works offline, responds instantly, and keeps whatever you paste in on your own device. That makes it safe to use even for confidential, client, or internal data you would never send to an unknown website.
