ColSel

Graphic designers, especially those creating program interfaces and web pages heavily rely on colors, and the computer doesn’t recognize them by names as we do, but rather by corresponding code. As such, ColSel comes with various options to configure and select colors and reveal required code for multiple programming languages.

You get to check out the set of features before you realize since the setup process only lasts for a little while. The main window is pretty compact, but manages to cleverly integrate all necessary tools and keep accommodation simple for individuals of all levels of experience.

The output code format array is quite impressive, so you’re able to use color codes grabbed here with formats like HEX, HTML, decimal, VB, C++, Delphi, Java, and the standard RGB. Once a color is selected, corresponding value fields for all of these types automatically fill in, and a code of interest is sent to clipboard at the press of a button.

Color picking options are pretty rich in variety themselves. On the one hand, you can use a built-in dropper tool in order to select a pixel on screen to reveal its code. On the other hand, two color palette types provide customization options for tints in case you know the exact color you want to generate the code for.

The window can be set to stay on top of everything else so you don’t lose focus. There’s a settings panel you can bring up to customize the title bar and text color. Apart from visual tweaks, it comes with a RGB to HEX converter, and a generator for random output values.

Taking everything into consideration, we can state that ColSel is a powerful color picker tool which can provide output for an impressive variety of programming languages. Picking tools make sure you can perfectly choose and define the right tint, making it worth your while overall.
