Pick your favorite colors from anywhere on your screen.
The Color Picker enables you to pick your favorite colors from anywhere on your screen. Colors can then be added to a palette and saved for later use. The program supports color code in RGB and HEX, and you can easily copy the color code to the clipboard. This version is the first release on CNET Download.com.
easily grabs colors from the screen then displays value in RGB and in hex. The value is in a text box (easy to copy).
Cons
The picker keeps picking. The 'eyedropper' cursor goes and goes. The solution is to plant the utility right over the part of the screen you need to grab color from. Takes 3 seconds to discover this.
