Tool description

The Colors Sorter is a powerful utility tool that allows you to organize and sort lists of colors based on various criteria. It supports multiple color formats including hex codes, RGB values, HSL values, and named colors. The tool uses advanced color science algorithms to sort colors by different properties such as hue, saturation, lightness, luminance, and individual RGB channel values. It provides both a sorted list output and a visual preview grid to help you see the color relationships at a glance.
