If you do any kind of design or development, you’re constantly needing to match colors (or you should be).
Nattyware’s Pixie and Apple’s Digital Color Meter (if you’re using OS X Lion, which you should be, be sure to see the new way to get Hex values) are what I rely on. Both free. Both easy to use. Launch, roll over the color you want to match, and you get your RGB, Hex and other values.
I use these almost daily for web design and elearning development.
I’m addicted to this ignite series. Great concept. More of my favs coming soon. This one is a great one on design from Leesean Hepnova (leesean.net). Simplify, people!
I use Pixie a lot on my Windows machines. It’s a neat little color picker app that just works exactly as it should.
I found out today that Apple built one into OS X. It’s probably been there forever, and I just now found out about it, but cool nonetheless, and thought I would share.
It’s called DigitalColor Meter (it’s in Utilities, or just use Spotlight and start typing) and it’s simple and effective.
