Ratings and Reviews
Exactly what I needed
I've tried different color sampling solutions for my dev work, and I'm not sure how I didn't find this app sooner because it has exactly everything I would want/need in a color sampling app. It can me customized to be very un-invasive, perfect for my quick pick-and-paste workflow. I can tell the developer had other developers' workflows in mind. Thank you!!!
There when you need it
I need to grab colors from various apps throughout the day to get their color values for CSS, and this app makes it easy to have the color picker available from a global shortcut that then copies the color value to my clipboard. This app is cleanly designed, provides the color value in four different formats, and the developer is extremely responsive. Six stars!
Couldn't ask for better
Simply put, this is the best color picker app I've ever used.
I've had to experiment with several different ones over the years, but once I found this, I stopped looking.
I use this for my graphic design work, videography work, and photography. The design seamlessly integrates with any program.
