Sip 5.0.2 Overview

Sip is a color picker and palette management app for macOS developed by Olá Brothers, built for designers and developers who regularly capture, organize, and reuse colors across their work. Sip requires macOS 14 (Sonoma) or later, is distributed directly from the official sipapp.io website and through Setapp, and offers a 15-day trial before requiring a paid license. Version 5.0.2, part of the major Sip 5 release line, adds support for the latest macOS 27 (Golden Gate) beta alongside minor bug fixes, following Sip 5.0's description by the developer as "the biggest update ever to the color picker for macOS." What sets Sip apart from the color picker built into macOS is the depth of its palette and workflow tools.

Key Features

Screen Color Sampling Instantly samples and encodes any color visible on screen using a fast, Retina-ready magnifier-style picker. Smart Formats Automatically detects the frontmost application and switches the copied color format to match — including CSS Hex, CSS3 HSL/RGB, Swift UIColor, Android XML, and fully custom formats defined by the user. Palette Organization Organizes captured colors into palettes supporting sub-palettes, locking, merging, sorting, and sharing, suited to both individual and team color workflows. Color Dock Pins frequently used or "currently in use" palettes to any edge of the screen for fast, unobtrusive access while working. Color Panel with Multiple Modes Provides HEX, RGB, HSB, HSL, and alpha controls for precise manual color editing directly within the app. Colorblindness Simulation (Sip 5) Previews palettes through simulated protanopia, deuteranopia, tritanopia, and achromatopsia color vision modes, helping create more accessible, inclusive designs.

How to Use Sip 5.0.2

Launch Sip; it will sit in the menu bar until called on, ready to open the color picker on demand. Use the picker to sample any color on screen, with Smart Formats automatically matching the output to your frontmost application. Organize captured colors into palettes, using sub-palettes, locking, and sorting to keep your library manageable. Pin actively used palettes to the Color Dock at any screen edge for quick, ongoing access. Use the Color Panel's HEX, RGB, HSB, HSL, and alpha controls to fine-tune a color manually. Enable colorblindness simulation modes in Preferences to check how your palettes appear under different types of color vision. Sign in with Apple to securely sync your palettes, settings, and preferences across all your Mac devices.
