STANDALONE PRO
Chroma Space Standalone Pro is a 3D color picker in its own window. It shows any color under real lighting (highlight, shadow, and bounce), then sends it to Krita or Clip Studio Paint, or copies it into any painting app.

Two-way with Krita and Clip Studio Paint. Any other app by hex code, hotkey or swatch file.
Shaped by 15+ years of color decisions in games, film, and illustration.
No subscription. Works offline too, with a quick online check once a month.
Standalone Pro is its own small window. Keep it on top of Krita or Clip Studio Paint, and the color you pick lands on your brush.
Clip Studio Paint, with the Chroma Space window outlined in blue.
Krita: Chroma Space sits where the color selector was.
Clip Studio Paint: the same picker, the same painting.KritaA small Krita plugin keeps both sides in step. Colors you pick here become Krita's brush color at once, and colors you pick in Krita come back here. The app installs the plugin for you.
Clip Studio PaintColors you pick in Clip Studio, with the eyedropper or the color wheel, come into Chroma Space. Colors you pick here go to Clip Studio's brush through its own Pick screen color, so its picker flashes up for a moment each time.
Other painting apps can follow the same way in beta. Any app also works with copy hex (Ctrl+Alt+C), picking from the screen (Ctrl+Alt+E) and .gpl or .ase swatch files.
Use the Chroma Space panel instead. It docks inside Photoshop, sets your foreground color directly, and adds Match Color and Brush Size.
Chroma Space for PhotoshopMove the same color through Sphere, Cube, Mountain and Face to judge form, landscape values, and skin tones from multiple angles.
Preview Depth Fog, Reflectivity, Color Dynamics, Toon Shading, Subsurface, and Contrast before you paint.
Move through a day before you commit a brushstroke. One drag shifts the sky, ambient bounce, shadow color, and material value together.
You get the full manual light rig too, including the spot and directional key light toggle, and you can save lighting setups to reuse.
A continuous capture from the real picker, using Sphere, the default model. Its color stays fixed while the Time of Day slider moves.
Why colors go wrong, how a 3D picker fixes it, and the result on a real painting. Recorded in the Photoshop version, which uses the same picker.
Traditional pickers force you to mentally simulate how sunlight warms surfaces, how shadows cool, and how bounced ambient light fills form. Chroma Space gives you the answer before you paint.
Keep the sliders you already know (HSB, RGB, LAB, CMYK) and see every color you pick under real light.
A number and a swatch, floating in a void. You discover how it reacts to sunset only after you paint.
The same sliders, working on a color already under sunset lighting. Highlight, core shadow, and bounce are visible before you paint.
Recorded in the Photoshop version. Standalone Pro uses the same picker.
The Palette panel reads the lit render and gives you the base color plus a highlight, midtone, shadow and bounce color. Click any row to copy its hex code.
The same window works whatever you are painting. Pick a color, check it under the light, and send it to the brush.
Read this before you buy, so nothing surprises you.

Usually because shadows are made by darkening toward gray or black instead of shifting the hue. Real shadows change color. Chroma Space shows you that shadow color on a lit 3D form, so you can sample it instead of guessing.
