Handy little colorpicker

With a new computer in work I have decided to keep it as clean as possible, but sometimes there is software that you just need to have. Kinda like with Firefox extensions.

So today I put my mouse pointer over the quick launch bar just to find that one of those essential little tools were missing. It's a color picker that I've been using for years, namely Pixie from Nattyworks.

So if you need a color picker, you might want to check out this one.

The Firefox extension Colorzilla is great for this, too. Gives you an in-browser colorpicker, eyedropper, and the current color the mouse is over, in both RGB and Hex. Very nice.

It's ok... I prefer color cop... it doesn't run in the tray, however it has lots of great features... and it's free also!!

Thank you for the tips Matt and Chris.

@Matt - I need/want to be able to run a color picker without needing to fire up Firefox, should it not be open from before :)

@Chris - that one looks interesting. I might test it "further up the road".
