Quick introduction to Choices
Choices: Detailed Color Analysis is an iPhone utility created by Florian Kattengell and offered at no cost in the Utilities & Tools section of the App Store. It provides a specialized way to examine color—zooming in on hues, tones, and palettes to reveal what makes each shade distinct.
Why movies are a special focus
The app places particular emphasis on cinema, analyzing how filmmakers use color to shape mood, guide attention, and tell subtextual stories. By breaking down frames and sequences, Choices helps you see the deliberate color choices behind many memorable scenes and visual motifs.
