Screen Color Picker

There are plenty of color pickers out there for graphic artists and developers to use, from complex utilities to simple tools included in other applications. If you’re looking for something as lightweight as possible, however, this program may interest you.

Screen Color Picker is a small, portable application that provides only the most basic functionality you can expect from such a utility, allowing you to select a color from your desktop and copy its HEX code to the clipboard. It comes with no UI and leaves nothing behind after it is run.

Using this application is far from complicated – once run, the cursor will be replaced with a tool used to select any color you want from the desktop. The RGB and HEX values are shown in the tooltip, and you only need to click a pixel to copy the HEX code to the clipboard.

Once a color has been selected and the value is in the clipboard, the program is shut down automatically. If you need to pick another color, just launch it again and go through the same process.

No installation is required to use Screen Color Picker, which means you can run it from any location, on any PC, even from portable storage devices. What’s more, it will leave no traces behind after it is shut down.

This program is a great choice for users who need to extract color codes every once in a while and want to get the job done with no unnecessary complications. Of course, it is also suitable for those who work on projects from multiple computers.

In short, if you need a simple, portable color picker that requires no configuration and won’t get in your way, this program is definitely worth a try.
