What’s the app you are using to pick the colors? I can’t get the name. Thank you!

I know Hope mentions the name of the app she is using to pick the colors to check the contrast, but I can’t seem to get it right. Can anyone help? Thank you!

I'm not sure that link is what she used. She seemed to have a browser plugin whereas the link goes to a webpage with a tool where you manually paste in hex color codes or use a slider. She definitely used something with an eyedropper tool in the browser.

Edit: I just listened again carefully to the section where she uses this and it seems to be a plug-in called contrast.io. I'm guessing this is only available for Macs. I searched for it in the Chrome Web Store and nothing came up. :(

I just watched this video today and realized the plugin you were referring to. It could be a Mac only plugin, but I'll definitely try to ask Hope for sure. I'll update here when I get word! :)
