Colorgen is a Mac color reference app for finding HTML color codes and viewing related color values, names, and standard groupings.
What is Colorgen?
Colorgen is a native Mac color utility for looking up HTML colors and related color information. It helps developers, designers, students, and anyone working with web color values quickly find a color by code, name, or category instead of checking reference tables manually. The app includes color details such as RGB, CMYK, HSL, HSV, X11 names, and HTML color groups, which makes it useful when comparing formats or translating a color between workflows. It also supports browsing web-safe colors and converting values between decimal, binary, and hexadecimal forms. On macOS, Colorgen fits simple reference and lookup tasks where you want a lightweight tool for color selection, study, or front-end work without opening a larger design app. Colorgen is published by Daispot.

Safety overview
Status: Safe
Colorgen is a straightforward color lookup utility, and its normal use does not require unusual system access. For most people, it is safe to keep installed if they use it for web, design, or coding reference. As with many App Store apps, basic usage and diagnostic data may be collected according to the developer's privacy information, so review those details if you prefer to limit app analytics.
Recommendation: Keep Colorgen if you regularly look up HTML colors or convert color values on your Mac. If you no longer use it, removing it should only affect your ability to open the app and any settings or local app data it stores.
