Infinite scroll
An infinite scroll pagination automatically loads new results as your each the bottom, eliminating the choice of wether to continue shopping or bounce. As shoppers scroll far from a target search color, the results organically branch out to showing similar harmonious colors.
Pinpoint accuracy
Hoppn's search algorithm processes color down to its precise HEX code. A microscopic shift in color wheel selection results in a distinctly unique search experience.
Perceptually uniform color wheel
Hoppn uses the most advanced perceptually uniform color space for its color wheel. This allows shoppers to fine tune the chroma without effecting the perceived lightness of the color.
Polished animations in the UX
A well crafted transition or hover state can dramatically improve the usability of search. Hoppn's polished design elevates the look and feel of your website.
Color names for accessibility
Hoppn's team invented a new color naming system designed for shoppers with color vision deficiencies. Each hue may be preceded by an adjective that communicates its lightness and vibrancy, giving shoppers the confidence they need to understand the color they are searching for.
2-color search
Historically, color filters have unfairly prioritized surfacing single-tone products, even though your favorite products often feature multiple distinct colors. Hoppn's color wheel lets you search multiple colors.
Weighted 2-color search
