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.
Reading the distance
A small number means the two colors are near-indistinguishable, while a large one means they read as clearly different. The comparison runs locally, so brand colors stay private.
