Colour Tool for Web Design
filed in General on Apr.30, 2008
I was searching the Internet the other day and I came across a tool that will help me no end in designing web sites. The tool is called Absolute Color Picker, what it does is run from the desktop and say you are searching the net and you see a colour that you really want to use, all you do is open Absolute Color Picker, click and drag the box over the colour you like and release and it will in turn give you the RGB and Hex values of the colour.
Here’s a screen shot of the program identifying the wordpress admin theme colour:

Great find! working on my own little website, I understand the frustration of finding just the right color for something. Can’t really do it with the desktop apps I have now - this will be a big help.

I use Colorpic 4.1 version developed by iconico dot com, that was the easiest one I could find.. I mostly use it to design my contextual ads.. nothing more.

I love these. They take the gusswork out of it all.

Great post. I use a Firefox plugin (ColorZilla) to do almost the same as what this application does, albeit in a far less attractive way. Still, it’s a definite time-saver compared to my old routine of print screen, copy and paste.
