Every calculation in Chromivra undergoes rigorous validation against industry standards. We don't approximate where precision matters — we implement the exact mathematical formulas that professionals rely on worldwide.

"Just because software is free, doesn't mean it should be free of accuracy."

Professional-grade precision shouldn't be a premium feature — it should be the foundation. Every color calculation, from the simplest hex conversion to the most complex perceptual difference, meets or exceeds industry standards without compromise.
