ColorPlus will help you make color code capturing as fast and simple as possible. With the Help of ColorPlus you'll be able to get the color data you need in the format you need in less time than it takes to just open another application to accomplish the same thing. Plus with ColorPlus the color data is given to you in multiple formats.

ColorPlus is a super-simple but very powerful color picking application that will allow you to easily obtain a color code in several formats; quickly. ColorPlus can capture pixel color data anywhere on the screen with a simple lick of a mouse (or press of a hotkey) and can easily recall up to 10 previous captures. While this is mostly useful for web designers and the like there are also many other uses as well (software development for example).

Other tools are cumbersome and clunky to load. Usually, color sampling is but one of the myriad of functions the other applications perform, so they're not optimized for color data capture. ColorPlus is specialized and optimized for just this purpose. It does one thing, and one thing very well; PICK COLORS!

As mentioned above ColorPlus can capture color data anywhere on the screen with a simple lick of a mouse (or press of a hotkey) and can easily recall up to 10 previous captures that can be displayed in the main menu or a tearaway menu as well (which is fully draggable for easy positioning and remains the topmost window while it is visible). ColorPlus is a super-small tool that loads fast and stays out of your way until you need it

ColorPlus can currently output color data as RGB, HEX (with or without the #) and HSV (with and without the degree and percentage markers). In addition, ColorPlus has hotkey support for the following actions: enabling/disabling the color sampler, capturing color data, enabling/disabling tearaway menu and immediate specified purging of color data.

ColorPlus also shows the current color data (in multiple formats) and previous captured color data where you need it most; right in front of you! This can make it a trivial task to compare multiple color data values as well as make sure you're getting the exact color data you need, when you need it

Here are some key features of "ColorPlus":

· Small lightweight application that specializes in the capture of color data and nothing else
· Loads and unloads super fast
· Two types of sampling available to you depending on whether you need specific pixel data (real-time zoomed sampling) or just general area color data (solid color sampling)
· Adjustable level of magnification (from 1x - 16x)
· Grid overlay abilities (with customizable grid color and opacity)
· Ability to view current pixel color data in multiple formats with further options to customize how each color space type will show the data (for example whether or not to prepend a # symbol for HEX data)
· Ability to show or hide the color space labels.
· Outputs color data in RGB, HEX (with or without the #), HSV (with or without the ° and % symbols), CMYK (with or without symbols _and_ in either decimal or percentage notation) and many MANY others!
· Ability to quickly view last captured color
· Displays up to the last 10 captured colors in the menu directly
· Optional tearaway menu shows up to the last 10 captured color(s) and are clickable to place that color's data in the clipboard so you can copy into whatever you need.
· Tearaway menu that can be placed anywhere on screen and used in conjunction with the color sampler directly (unlike the menu which is stationary)
· Fully customizable hotkey support for key actions to help you cave mouse clicks, or simply make that action easier.
· Left-click to capture color data
· Right-click to return color sampler back to the system tray
· Captured color data is cached between sessions so that it is available when you next use ColorPlus
