GZ Picker

GZ Picker is a small software application developed specifically for helping you pick a color  from your desktop and check out its corresponding HEX value. The HEX value can be used in your HTML files in order to specify the color of your text or other graphical elements. The tool can be deployed on all Windows versions out there.

The utility is portable and can be stored on pen drives or other portable devices. Plus, you may open it without having to go through an installation process. It does not create entries in your Windows registry.

GZ Picker sports a clean and simple design that leaves no room for ambiguities. A help manual is not included in the package. However, you can appeal to a ‘Readme’ plain text file that shows only a few details about the program’s capabilities. The dedicated parameters can be decoded in a short amount of time because they look highly intuitive.

The application offers you the freedom to capture the entire desktop directly in its main window. This way, you can quickly select the preferred color. It takes only a single click on the desired area in the screenshot in order to view the HEX value displayed in the status bar. What’s more, the HEX value is automatically copied to the clipboard so you can quickly paste it into other third-party programs.

You are allowed to save the captured image of the entire screen to BMP file format, provided that you specify a filename and saving directory. Tests have pointed out that GZ Picker carries out tasks quickly and without errors. It is friendly with system resources so you do not need a powerful computer to run it. You may keep it opened in the background.

To sum things up, GZ Picker comes packed with several handy features for helping you find out the HEX value of any color present on your desktop with ease. It is suitable especially for less experienced users.
