The Color Picker

The Color Picker is a small software application whose purpose is to help you pick any color from your screen and retrieve the RGB and HEX values using a set of straightforward actions.

It takes nothing more than a simple and quick installation process in order to gain access to the GUI. The program sports an intuitive and simple layout that allows you to get an idea about how to make the most out of its features in a short amount of time. Although you cannot appeal to a help manual to read more about the configuration process, you can manage to set up the dedicated parameters on your own.

The Color Picker offers you the possibility to simply activate the color picker from the main window and select a color from your desktop. The application automatically shows a magnifier in a small panel so you can quickly choose the target color.

What’s more, you can view details about the RGB and HEX values, copy the information to the clipboard so you can paste it into other tools, adjust the RGB sliders on the fly, as well as keep track of different colors with the aid of a color palette.

Tests have shown that The Color Picker carries out a task quickly. It is friendly with system resources so the overall performance of the computer is not hampered. You may keep it running in the background. On the downside, it has not been updated for a long time so you may come across all sorts of errors on newer operating systems, like Windows 10 and 8.

To sum things up, The Color Picker comes packed with basic features for helping you view the corresponding codes for any screen color, and is suitable especially for less experienced users.
