Color Cop: My Favorite Color Picker
Color Cop is a little color picker utility that I use almost constantly for graphics work and website design.
It lives in a little popup window that stays open over other windows. You can drag its little box all over your screen, minimize it, close it, or just leave it open while you work.
It has a nifty eyedropper that you use to select any part of your screen and grab the color. Once you’ve grabbed a color, it shows you the color in its sample window and its hex code below.
You can customize the color you’ve selected, adjusting its hue, saturation and luminosity. Color Cop shows you the RGB value of your customized color and when you return to the front screen, shows the color in selection boxes along with the hex code.
You can copy the hex code from Color Cop to the clipboard and drop it into your graphics editing software.
Color cop remembers the last several colors you worked with and your last screen position, and will remember whatever was there when you last closed it.
It is versatile too, with color code support for HTML hex, Delphi hex, PowerBuilder, Visual Basic hex, and Visual C++ hex.
It is freeware, with no nags and no popups. You can download it from:
