With Colllor it is much easier to generate a consistent color palette with just a few clicks. You should use colors consistently, so you have a common look and feel throughout your design. All the alternative proposals produced by Colllor derive from the same color and they all have a common denominator sharing hue, lightness or saturation values.

Colllor will let you find the exact value of darker shades of any color, not just something that ‘looks darker’. That will be a huge step towards professionally looking color combinations. And also, you can use plain English or Hex color names.

psd.js is a Photoshop (PSD) file parser written in Coffeescript/Javascript for both browsers and NodeJS implementations. Given a PSD file, it can parse out information such as image size and color modes, image resources, layer info, image contents, etc.

This implementation is more or less a direct port of pypsd with some help from psdparse. However, this is still a work in progress and is not finished yet. We do not recommend using in production anywhere.
