Plastiliq Pixel Picker

Plastiliq Pixel Picker is a color picker capable of displaying multiple types of color codes: RGB, ARGB, BGR, BGRA, HTML, CMYK, HSL, HSV / HSB, HEX, HEX + alpha, decimal, along with decimal + alpha. It's mainly dedicated to web designers and creative artists.

The installation procedure is a fast task that shouldn't give you any trouble. The program is packed in a user-friendly interface made from a small window with a simplistic structure.

You can begin by clicking and holding any point on Plastiliq Pixel Picker's window, in order to drag it out, move it, and capture a specific portion of the screen. Once you release the mouse button, you can zoom in the snapshot to pixel level to easily find the desired color.

As previously mentioned, the tool supports multiple color codes, so all you have to do is select the preferred one. It can be copied to the Clipboard by clicking the square box right next to the code.

Moreover, you can make the window stay on top of others, send the application to the systray to make it non-intrusive (on minimize and/or exit), as well as configure a global keyboard shortcut for quickly bringing it up on the screen.

As we expected, the software utility didn't put a strain on the overall performance of the machine in our tests, since it needed low CPU and RAM to work properly. It worked smoothly, without triggering the operating system to hang, crash or prompt error messages.

Although its set of features is not particularly rich, Plastiliq Pixel Picker offers a simple and effective solution for capturing colors and copying various color codes to use them in your personal projects. Too bad that it hasn't been updated for a while.
