Free palette comparison tool
Compare 2–10 player or waypoint colors, flag duplicates and similar shades, and find a clearer alternative for a busy multiplayer HUD.
Add at least two colors to compare them.
How it works
Label each player or waypoint and enter its three- or six-digit Hex color.
The checker marks exact duplicates and pairs whose perceptual distance may make them difficult to tell apart.
Use the suggested distinct color as a starting point, then send it to the waypoint command generator.
A color that looks clear by itself can become confusing beside several similar markers. This checker evaluates the palette as a group, which is useful for teams, events, minigames, and map waypoints.
You can enter known Hex values directly or arrive from the Finder with a calculated player color already added.
The comparison uses distance in the CIE Lab color space because it better approximates perceived color differences than raw RGB values. The threshold is a practical HUD-design aid rather than an official Minecraft rule.
Screen settings, resource packs, surrounding colors, vision differences, and marker size still affect the final experience. Always check important palettes in the game itself.
FAQ
Short answers about what this tool does, what it cannot see, and what to verify in Minecraft.
You can compare between two and ten colors in one working set.
It means the pair falls below this tool's practical perceptual-distance threshold. It is a warning to test the pair, not a universal pass or fail.
No. It only analyzes values in your browser. Send a suggestion to the Generator to build a command you can review and run separately.
