Background & text color selection and comparison service introduction, online color tools
I apologize in advance for any awkward expressions in English.
English is not my native language, and I have relied on ChatGPT's assistance to proceed with the translation.
Quick Access to the Service
Background & Text Color Picker
Feature Introduction
The main features of this service are color selection, preview, color inversion, and color comparison.
This service allows you to easily select and preview background and text colors.
It enables you to quickly see how the selected background and text colors look when inverted, and you can easily compare different color combinations by copying the selected background and text colors and changing them to other colors.
Additionally, you can change the text and adjust the font size to see the combinations that suit your preferences.
(Just for reference, I created this service when I was struggling to compare color combinations while creating a clock service that required choosing background and text colors.)
The image below shows the default colors, copying with [+]

This service was created to assist in comparing colors when selecting them, and I will also introduce some online color tools that can help with color selection.
Online Color Tools
Adobe Color

Adobe Color is an online color selection tool from Adobe that helps you choose similar and complementary colors.
Colordot

When you visit Colordot, you'll see a monochromatic screen with color codes.
You can change the color (Hue) by moving left or right, adjust the brightness (Lightness) by moving up or down, and modify the saturation (Saturation) by scrolling. These are the explanations, but I, not being a designer, simply move the mouse around without much thought...
When you find the color you want, click the mouse, and a new color area will be added. It seems like a useful tool for creating your own color palettes.
ColorHexa

ColorHexa provides detailed information about the selected color. For example, it describes the color as being composed of 100% red, 75.7% green, and 2.7% blue, as in the linked color.
You can explore various color codes, complementary colors, similar colors, and see previews of how the color would look as text, background, or border. If you have knowledge about design and colors, this tool can be highly useful.
Color Contrast Checker

When you select text and background colors, this tool displays the color contrast score. Higher contrast scores make text more readable.
What looks aesthetically pleasing to your eyes may not be comfortable for reading, so checking the color contrast can be essential.
Flat UI Colors 2

Flat UI Colors 2 provides pre-defined color palettes, and you can easily copy color codes for your selected palette. This is great for quickly finding color schemes to use in your designs.
material design palette
Direct link to material design palette: https://www.materialpalette.com/
This tool is particularly useful for Android app development. When you select two colors, it automatically generates a primary color and an accent color, along with associated colors. You can preview the color scheme and see how it would look in your app.
