AptColor

AptColor is an application you can use to pick any color from the screen and get its decimal, hexadecimal, HTML and RGB code. It's practical for web designers and graphic editors who want to quickly apply specific colors into their software projects.

Easy installation and interface

Installing it takes minimal and effort, since there are no unfamiliar options, mandatory tools or third-party offers involved. The interface of AptColor is user-friendly, represented by a normal window with a simple design and neatly structured layout, which stays on top of other applications panels.

Pick any color from the screen

You can click and drag the eyedropper to any part of the screen to view it magnified in a built-in frame that can be zoomed in, as well as release the button to capture it.
The tool shows the red, green and blue channels, along with the HTML, decimal and hexadecimal codes. It can be instructed to use the nearest web-safe color. Moreover, you can explore a chart with web safety colors as well as the color spectrum.

Upsides and downsides

The only negative aspect about the utility is that the refresh rate of the magnification tool is poor. It's necessary to slow down mouse movements to view colors. On top of that, the tool doesn't integrate support for navigating pixels accurately using the arrow keys.
However, it stayed stable throughout its entire runtime in our evaluation, without causing the operating system to hang, crash or indicate errors. System resources usage was minimal, as it required a low amount of CPU and RAM to work properly.

Conclusion

Taking into account its clear-cut interface and options, AptColor can be handled by any users looking to obtain various colors and colors codes from the desktop, even the ones less familiarized with this kind of software.
