ColorDropper

Irrespective of whether you are editing an image, writing a source code in HTML or setting up a web page, there is a fair chance that you might have to obtain information about the colors present on your screen.

As the name suggests, ColorDropper is a small, yet helpful application that allows you to grab the color code for any pixel under your cursor, so that you can easily use in other projects.

The program includes a rugged and fairly minimalistic interface that consists of a main window and a viewing area that you can use to determine if you are keeping the cursor in the right place. You can preview data such as the location, RGB and the Hex code in real-time as you move the cursor across the screen.

The tool is as simple as it looks, particularly since grabbing a color code is a matter of keeping the cursor on top of it. Although it is not visible initially, the app includes a feature that allows you to hold it on top, an option that can make the process faster and smoother.

The role of the application is to provide you with a simple method of capturing the code for the color under your cursor. To make things simpler and for enhanced convenience, the utility includes an x8 magnifier function that can help you zoom in the desired location so that you can be sure to capture the precise pixel you want.

The application enables you to modify the color you achieved by increasing or decreasing the Red, Green and Blue values, a feature that permits you to create a brand new color seamlessly. On the other hand, this is the only modification you can make as the app does not allow you alter the HSV values. You should keep in mind that the HSV parameters are provided automatically when copying the hex code to clipboard.

ColorDropper is a simplistic utility that packs a few nifty functions so that you can identify the code for any color on your desktop instantly.
