Select, View and Compare Colors using Mathematica® or Wolfram Player®

Select, View and Compare (Named and RGB) Colors

Below is a screenshot (photograph) of the "Select, View and Compare Colors" (Named and RGB Colors version) user interface:

If Mathematica is not installed on your computer you should download and install the free Wolfram Player application (formerly called Wolfram CDF Player).

If you have the Mathematica application (versions 8 through 13.0.1) installed, then to download the Mathematica notebook (.nb) file click here: Select, View and Compare Colors.nb (501 KB).

If you have the free Wolfram Player aplication installed, then to download the Wolfram Player computable document format (.cdf) file click here: Select, View and Compare Colors.cdf (502 KB).

When you click on either of the above download links don't be alarmed if a lot of text suddenly appears in your browser's window. Just choose 'Save Page As...' from your browser's 'File' menu to save the text to a file whose name is the same as the link you clicked on above. Either the .nb or .cdf file may be opened and run using Mathematica while ONLY the .cdf file may be opened and run with Wolfram Player. The .cdf and .nb files may BOTH be modified with Mathematica but NEITHER file can be modified with Wolfram Player.

Note that the "copy to clipboard:" feature works ONLY in the Mathematica .nb file but NOT in the Wolfram Player .cdf file. If you are using the .cdf file in either Mathematica or Wolfram Player, leave the "copy to clipboard:" control set to "nothing" to avoid seeing an error message.

If you previously downloaded the original Mathematica Player application (original version, before the name changed to "Wolfram CDF Player" and then to "Wolfram Player") to use with "Select, View and Compare Colors.nbp" you should download and install the new Wolfram Player application that replaces it. All the latest "Select, View and Compare Colors" programs now also display Crayola, a seventh named color collection that was newly added in Mathematica 8.
