Drop

If you're a designer, colors are probably one of the most important elements in your work. It is extremely important to have color shades as accurately as possible, meaning you need to know at all times what you're working with. For this to actually happen, in digital work, but not only, a color picking tool is advised. One possible solution could be Drop, a simple, yet effective color picking tool. It looks very nice, it works well, and it does not nag or annoy you in any way.

The most interesting aspect regarding this app is the fact that you can pick colors virtually from anywhere on your screen. Let's pretend you like the new Windows 10 background and wish you were able to replicate those shades of blue in an adaption fo your own. Well, you can do just that. Use the provided magnifying glass and grab the exact shade of blue you feel is right for your project. It's that simple. Create palettes with the colors you find interesting and share them with your fellow designers.

Whether it's CSS RGB, RGBA, HSL, HSLA or Hex you're talking about, this application supports it. While it's simple and can be used by virtually anybody with a computer, such features do make it relevant for professionals too. As a result, this application makes no compromise, offering what's best from both worlds. On one hand, we're talking about simplicity of design and user-friendliness, on the other we're discussing complex functionality for color-rich projects.

Drop is an application that deals with colors very well. It's an easy to use application and can surprisingly display complex functions for use with some of the most intricate projects. The magnifying glass makes sure you find the right shade and the clipboard pallette prevents you from losing any special colors you might have discovered.
