Smart Profiles
— Context-Aware Color Picking
With
Smart Profiles
, Sip automatically adapts to the environment you’re working in by applying the correct color profile behind the scenes.
Why Smart Profiles Matter
When picking a color on your screen, the result can vary depending on the color profile of the app or window you’re sampling from:
Web browsers like
Safari
and
Chrome
often use
sRGB IEC61966-2.1
.
Native macOS apps like
Xcode
and
Sketch
may use
Display P3
or
Generic RGB
.
Without the correct profile, your picked colors may not match what you see in your designs.
Smart Profiles
solves this by ensuring:
The correct color profile is applied automatically.
Your colors are accurate and consistent across apps.
You save time by letting Sip handle the technical details.
Setting Up Smart Profiles
Go to
Preferences > Smart Profiles
.
Enable
Use Smart Profiles
.
Add apps (e.g., Safari, Chrome, Xcode) using the
+
button.
Choose the appropriate color profile for each app from the dropdown.
That’s it! Sip will now automatically switch profiles based on where you’re picking colors from.
Managing Smart Profiles
Enable or disable
Smart Profiles with the checkbox.
Add or remove
apps as needed.
Select the desired profile for each app using the dropdown.
Click the trash icon to remove an app from the list.
Example:
Assign
sRGB IEC61966-2.1
to web browsers like Safari and Chrome, and
Display P3
to Xcode for more accurate color picking.
