Ratings and Reviews
Very handy when using colours
As a developer or a desingner when you need to either get a colour, or explore some variation on an option, this little app addresses the needs.
Brilliant!
Excellent app - finding the value of any colour on your screen is so easy. Particularly useful to be able to use the drop down menu to see the values of recently 'picked' colour to jot down into PowerPoint or similar.
Colour Picker
It's really easy to capture colours that appear on my mac. It's really easy to open the app from the top of the menu.
The colour on screen can be selected with the select tool.
Wonderful. I would really recommed this.
