Personalize how colors appear in the picker
All within a single, intuitive interface.

Creating a New Custom Format
When you create a new format, you’ll see the
Editor View
. This is where you define your format’s structure.
The editor includes:
Format Name
: Give your format a meaningful name.
Start With
: Choose to create from scratch or based on an existing format.
Help Menu
: Access predefined functions and properties for your format.
Code Formatter
: Organize and indent your code with a click.
Defining Custom Formats
Custom Formats are structured into three sections:
Clipboard
: Defines how the color is copied to your clipboard.
Menu
: Defines how the color is shown in Sip’s menu.
Picker
: Defines how the color appears in the picker interface.
Use the code editor to define these formats. For example:
Copy
{
"function"
:
"lower"
,
"x"
:
"#hex[red]hex[green]hex[blue]"
}
Tip:
Share your formats by exporting them—others can import them into their own Sip workspace.
