Color Chooser

Programming requires a bit more than just being aware of the code you need to write. For instance, a computer reads colors a bit differently than you, and renders them by corresponding codes. As such, Color Chooser comes as a lightweight tool with which to generate the code for a color of choice.

Lightweight and easy to use

Setup is over before you realize, but just so you don’t run into any issues, it’s a good idea to check whether or not your computer is fitted with .NET Framework. You’re free to then launch the application and get the codes you need. The visual design poses no accommodation problems, with a simple, yet intuitive set of features at your disposal.
By default, the window only shows the conversion and picker options, but it can be expanded to also show a preview panel. It isn’t just used to display the color you select, which is already done by the picker, but rather to help you pick the right combination to perfectly blend text with background.

Various color picking options

Defining a color can be done in several ways. On the one hand, there are value fields to define RGB values, with the HEX code generated at the press of a button. On the other hand, you can rely on the default color palette to select an exact tone, with both RGB and HEX values provided on the spot.
Last but not least, the application comes with a pretty impressive list of colors you can select from a drop-down menu. These are stored according to names, but there’s no possibility to manage it. When the color of interest is detected, you can copy the values to clipboard.

A few last words

Taking everything into consideration, we can state that Color Chooser is a reliable application specially developed for programmers which want to find just the right balance for text and background colors.
