BrazuColor

We can tell colors by names, but computer programming languages rely on specialized bits of code to display colors. Each language has its own type of code, and it’s close to impossible to know color codes by heart. Luckily, there are various applications just like BrazuColor which help you generate the code you need.

Once setup is over, you have the chance to launch the application right away to see what it’s all about. It comes in a custom-made window, which is quite intuitive, especially since all buttons are fitted with clear tooltips on mouseover. There’s a large palette of colors to choose from, as well as a gradient bar.

In case you want to work with a specific range of color tints, the application helps you fill in the palette with custom gradients. More than this, it’s possible to save entire palettes as PAL files, which are compatible with other image editing programs as well. You can even load existing PAL files.

Color picking is not just done from the given palette. There’s quite an impressive variety of options such as grabbing from screen with a dropper tool, by generating gradients, with the help of a screen magnifier, extracting colors from a bitmap image, by settings color names, through the system palette, or by adjusting RGB sliders.

A preview box is used to show the selected tint, as well as one for the previous color. In terms of code, the application manages to cover various programming languages, such as HEX for Visual Basic, RGB long for Visual Basic, HEX for C++ and Delphi, JAVA, Photoshop, as well as HTML. Values can’t all be saved at once, but you can send the one of interest to clipboard.

Taking everything into consideration, we can state that BrazuColor is an incredibly powerful color picker. The interface is highly intuitive, and it comes with an impressive variety of methods to grab and identify colors, while also delivering result for an abundance of programming languages.
