Recommended alternative

• VisualVM — Free (recommended alternative)

VisualVM is listed here as a suggested substitute if you need an additional free tool to support other aspects of development; however, it serves a different purpose (performance and JVM monitoring) rather than color management. If you require another color-focused option, consider exploring dedicated palette managers or color-picking utilities in the Mac App Store.
