Pixie, Tool For Picking Color

Are you a web designer or painter? Is there sometime that you find a color you like but you just can not pick it out for your own design? You may try many ways but you just can not find out the exact value of your color, but just similar, which is rather annoying. You can find out the value of your color with Adobe Photoshop, of course, but that is too much -- what you want is very simple. Well, maybe what you are looking for is this: pixie.

Pixie is a small tool for picking color from anywhere in your computer. After installation, run it, simply point to the place where your colour is, pixie will show you the colour in many ways, like rgb, hex and html. I just use these three functions, but there are also other values, like cmyk and hsv. After knowing the value, you do not need to remember it and then type it, just press Ctrl+Alt+C for copying html value, Ctrl+Alt+X for mixer, and Ctrl+Alt+Z for magnifier.

Pixie is a free software, you can use it what ever you want, without having to register.
