Prismad is a gemstone colour-change bench for gemologists, dealers, and collectors. Select a stone, choose two light sources, and watch computed sRGB swatches update in real time — a full radiometric simulation of how light travels through a gem, running entirely on-device with no account required. The Bench is the heart of Prismad. Pair any of 12 gem species — from Alexandrite to Tanzanite — with two of 8 named illuminants, from a midday window to a tungsten bulb or UV lamp. Adjust path length to match the depth of your stone, then read the result: two calibrated colour swatches, a CIE delta-E colour difference value, hue shift in degrees, tone, saturation, and a plain-language verdict — None, Weak, Distinct, or Dramatic. A sparkline shows how colour difference deepens as path length grows. The Pair screen turns your camera into a measurement instrument. Photograph the same stone und…
Every shipping app on the App Store has gone through the same decisions you're working through right now: which screenshot goes first, what caption sits over it, which device frame to show, what color the background should be. The 8 screenshots above are Prismad's answers to those questions — they're public, they're real, and they made it through Apple's review.
What the numbers say: Prismad runs a mixed light-and-dark set where the background shifts from screenshot to screenshot (first shot #040404) — each image has to stand on its own, so the captions carry more of the story. The accent colour we picked up, #FCC404, is the one to reuse for badges, arrows and highlighted words if you borrow this look. Hit Use this style to open the editor with these exact colours and drop your own screenshot in.
Notice the first screenshot in particular. It's the one users see in search results and on the product page, and it's where most apps spend their best caption and tightest design. Look at the proportion of background to phone, where the text sits, what one thing the image is trying to communicate.
