Pixel Picker is a simple, small and easy-to-use color-picking program. It allows you to pick the color from any pixel on your screen. It's written in C# .NET 2.0 and uses native Win32 APIs.

Pixel Picker requires very few resources to run, and displays the picked color in RGB as well as HTML values. It's able to pick the color also from layered and semi-transparent windows.

Using Pixel Picker is really simple. Open it and just move the mouse close to the pixel you want to pick; you may use the zoom view to select the pixel more accurately.

Hit the space key to lock the color and stop the capture. Hit space again to restart the capture. When minimized, Pixel Picker displays the captured color on the taskbar.
