14 DAY TRIAL // Mac developer Rui Aureliano is feeling generous this holiday season. He’s offering his Sip application, mainly geared towards software development, free of charge in the Mac App Store.
A simple color picker that samples and encodes any color you choose by clicking with your mouse on your screen, Sip lets you “swig a pixel from anywhere on the screen, then hit paste to pour the color’s code into your code editor.”
“Less time hunting for hex codes is definitely good for your health,” Aureliano believes.
Users can select any color from CSS Hex, CSS3 HSL, and CSS3 RGB, to Calibrated NSColor for HSB, Calibrated NSColor for RGB, Device NSColor for CMYK, and more.
You can keep a certain number of colors in your history as favorites, toggle prefix and suffixes on floating formats, and more. Sip can be set to launch when you log into your Mac so you can always have it at hand. Download Sip on any Intel Mac running OS X 10.7 (Lion) or newer.
