I wish the Open Props color helper[1] output results more like your tool:

- Shows both original vs matched colors

- Shows hex/rgb values

- Easy copy/paste via button

Some ideas you may be able to steal from the color helper:

- The "Quick pick" button is very handy

- Also there are two color matching algorithms. The LAB color matching is supposedly optimized for human perception.

And perhaps support for OKLCH colors? https://oklch.com/

Thank you so much for the comment. I have never heard of OKLCH before. I've been trying to think of another color project to work on, and I think I might explore in this direction. Again, thanks!
