ColorExplorer project is a tool for exploring the color space and finding out how colors, color names, and numerical color specifications are related.

You can specify a color by selecting its name from a list of color names, by adjusting sliders that control the mixture of red, green, and blue, or by entering a numerical color specification. The numerical specification of the current color and an example of that color are shown in a pair of adjacent boxes.

The color name list may be searched by entering a regular expression or by requesting the closest match to the current numerical color specification. You may also request a random color.

The current color specification and example may be copied into a hold area so that subsequent experiments may be compared with a tentative selection.

ColorExplorer should run on any platform for which tcl/tk is available, which means just about any current computer.

Requirements:
Tcl/Tk version 8.3 or higher

What's New in This Release:
It is now possible to copy the color from a chosen pixel on the display if your window system is X11.
The ordering of color names now groups similar colors better.
Positioning of the color name balloons has been improved.
