Color Capture for Windows

User Reviews

• Easy, portable, but a little too big.

  Pros

  This program is very simple to use: point to a pixel (you get a nice preview of the pixel to which you're pointing in the Color Capture window) and press Ctrl-Enter to get the HTML (hex) color value of the pixel. Want RGB? Then convert the HTML values from hex to decimal. Don't know how to do that? Then use a different program. I think ColorDetector displays RGB.<p>It is very portable, only one file. There are no libraries or installation, just run the EXE and you're grabbing pixel colors.

  Cons

  Color Capture does not display RGB values. Sure, you can simply convert the hexadecimal values to decimal; but that's a better argument for why it should be included in the program - it's a simple conversion.<p>I also don't like the size of the program. It's too big! After unzipping the file, it is 483 KB. I know 483 KB is not very large when you're putting it on a 2 GB flash drive (small by today's comparisons); but I'd like to see this functionality in less space than half-a-megabyte.

  1. Can't see the RGB color immediately only if you click the color palette icon. <p>2. it's take time to understand the you need to click ctrl+enter to Capture the color. Insted ( CTRL + INVIO ) present (CTRL + ENTER ).
