I love the simplicity of UI and the design! It would be fun to use this to replace some hex codes in my code with color names.

Some thoughts:

1. In grayscale mode the slider doesn't appear to do anything

2. Have you considered adding a way to compare colors or find complimentary?

3. A simple search box that accepted any css color format would be useful

Thanks!

My answers to your points:

1. True. Maybe I could make it also disabled to restrict interacting with it altogether.

2. I didn't design the tool as a more serious colorpicker or color scheme generator, so I wasn't thinking about adding more advanced features.

3. I thought about adding a search box that would accept many possible color values as input, but I feel like, adding anything will make the design more cluttered at this point. So, for me, adding stuff is more of a design challenge than a technical one.
