Color Picker For Mac

Color Picker is an easy to use Mac OS X application designed to help programmers to quickly view the hexadecimal, RGB, NSColor, and UIColor values of any color from the desktop. The utility comes with a streamlined workflow, and aims at improving your productivity level.

To start using the Color Picker application, you must activate the lens tool and select any pixel from your desktop. The application will analyze the reading and, within the Color Picker main window, you will be able to preview the color, its hexadecimal, RGB, NSColor, and UIColor values.

Any of the available color codes can be copied to the clipboard with a simple mouse click, of you can directly drag and drop them into your Xcode project.

Color Picker offers you the possibility to organize certain colors into collections for easy access: drag and drop the NSColor or UIColor values to the panel placed on the right side, and the color will be added to the active swatch.

Via the Color Picker Preferences window you can choose to activate the app’s status bar menulet which will keep a history for the recently saved and copied colors. As a result, you will be able to grab the code for a recently used color almost instantly. The same menulet enables you to copy a certain value for the currently selected color.

Color Picker provides hotkeys for toggling both the Color Picker main window and the Magnifier tool, so you have the option to use all these elements to create a workflow that best suits your needs.

To conclude, the Color Picker application provides simple but efficient color code search and management solutions for developers that need to use hexadecimal, RGB, NSColor, or UIColor values in their projects.
