Ever been inspired by the gorgeous, distinct colors in a stunning sunset, the combinations of uniquely colored homes in a big city? Well, you can actually use an app on your phone to identify the Pantone Color and incorporate it into your design work.

Kushagra Agarwal developed Cone, a color-identifying app to create a solution to his own problems. “Being a red-green colorblind designer, it’s difficult for me to recognize or identify certain colors,” he explained. “With the help of Cone, I could point my phone at an object and see exactly which color the object was.”
