Color Pickin'
Color Pickin’ is developed out of necessity and is one of our go-to utilities. There are many of these applications out there. But, most are outdated and don't work well with multi-DPI monitors (one is 140dpi and the other 96dpi, for instance). The ones that work well are too bloated and too much in a way. Being a developer/graphic designer, having simple and easy-to-use tools is essential. With Color Pickin', simply drag the dropper to any part of your desktop screen, click and paste the value to your codes, or save it to your collection. Instantly generate the color values in popular formats:
- RGB Color
- HTML
- Pascal
- C++/Java
- CMYK
- Numerical
Free Downloads
