Clip Color

There’s a significant difference between how we recognize and name colors from how the computer does it. Since it doesn’t rely on sight for this task, it uses code to show colors, and there are several types, depending on the programming language. To help you pick and define the code, Clip Color comes with a set of intuitive tools.

Zoom and real-time preview of color picker

When launching the application, the screen freezes in that particular state, even with temporary prompts still waiting for you to pick a color. What’s more, the cursor turns into a color picker fitted with a magnifier, screen coordinates, RGB values, and a label that’s filled with the color of the pixel you point the mouse at.
A simple mouse click is enough to grab that specific color. Once done, the main window shows up and lets you make final adjustments and view related color codes. The tone you just picked is shown in a larger box, with the possibility to further edit it using the default color palette. In addition, the application lets you save multiple tones as favorites, in case you frequently need to use them in your projects.

Copy codes and manage favorites

Clip Color displays related codes for RGB, VisualBasic, HTML Web color code, Long string, as well as hue-saturation-lighting values. What’s more, each is fitted with a small button that automatically sends the code to clipboard to make it easier for you to store it where needed.
The application lets you manage several related settings. The level of zoom is picked from a drop-down menu, with values up to eight times the original size. A code of your choice can also be automatically copied to clipboard right after you’re done picking the color.

A few last words

On an ending note, Clip Color is one of those tools web developers and programmers are sure to find appealing. Even if it may seem packed with a shallow set of features, it’s not, showing the color in different code types, with a favorites manager to keep track of history, and configurable options for a more comfortable experience.
