Some months back I built http://keylight.us to use my second monitor as a light during video meetings.

Love this. I don't want to have to reassure colleagues that I really don't look this bad normally.

It's always great to see simple and effective tools like this. I went ahead and downloaded the html+js into a single file to put in my arsenal. Maybe you could consider putting the whole iro.js into the initial pageload and turn this into a truly one-file tool.

Thank you! I've been wanting to throw something like this together for this exact reason. Normally I just open a blank webpage and manually set the CSS to the color I want but this is way easier and exactly what I'm looking for.

This is exactly what I was looking for, thank you. I use my second monitor the same way, but I just quickly google the name of a color before a meeting.

I know it's only a few buttons away, but you could add a button to switch to full screen.
