Pixie Color Picker
Quote:
|
Pixie is an easy-to-use, fast and tiny utility designed especially to fit the needs of Webmasters and Designers. Its a colour picker that includes a mouse tracker. Run it, simply point to a colour and it will tell you the hex, RGB, HTML, CMYK and HSV values of that colour. You can then use these values to reproduce the selected colour in your favorite programs. Pixie will also show the current x y position of your mouse pointer. Its the only tool you'll need for working with colours.

I just downloaded this: It puts this tiny box on your screen when you open it. you put your mouse over the color on the screen that you want the code for and hit ctrl+alt+c and it copies the code to the clipboard.
Pretty neat

Yea, it's convenient. I usually have to print screen and view in photoshop to get the color I want.

That doesn't work if you have to design a graphic for a website. You have to be exact. |

actually I don't think it puts it on your clipboard... but it has other features such as a magnifier window with cross hairs, color mixer (which is really cool), zoom, size, color converter etc... DotColor 3.0
