- Palette Selection: When saving multiple colors, you'll see a menu with all your palettes and an option to create a new palette, making it simple to choose where your colors belong.
- Check Contrast Feature: A brand-new feature that lets you pick two colors and check the contrast between them. To continue checking contrast between multiple color pairs, a quick click restarts the process. To save picked colors, press Enter and to cancel, press Esc.
- Precision Mode: A new feature that allows you to better pick colors in any pixel easily. Long-press the color picker to activate precision mode, This provides a slower, more accurate picker movement.

#### Improvements:
