Color Warlock

When developing an application you might stumble upon the requirement of color codes, which the computer recognizes instead of knowing names, like we do. There are different types of code, and you need some specialized applications like Color Warlock in order to generate and copy the one of interest.

Perks of portability, and preset charts

One major advantage here is the lack of an installer to take time and effort. As such, you can easily keep it stored on a thumb drive to always have a method of knowing what colors are on screen, and even grab them if necessary. You do, however, need to make sure that .NET Framework is already on your computer before you benefit from all the app has to offer.
You start off in a selection screen which doesn’t really resemble a common picker, not that it’s a bad thing. In fact, there isn’t even a dropper tool to select colors on screen, but there are several methods through which you can actually get the color tint of interest. The application relies on different color charts which you can create, with a decent library of presets included by default.

Create your own color groups

The application can display color codes in three formats so both you and the computer easily recognize them. In other words, every created or selected color reveals its RGB, HTML, and actual name. Default charts include groups of colors like all known, system, web-safe, and several more.
As far as the chart builder goes, it can be used to create your custom groups and save them as XML. Every generated color can be added to the list, with options to generate new tints either by adjusting RGB sliders, blending multiple colors together, or using a dropper tool to pick any color on the screen.

On an ending note

Taking everything into consideration, we can say that Color Warlock is sure to live up to expectations, with a wide variety of preset palettes to quickly get you up and running, but also a powerful chart builder so you can construct your own groups of tints in multiple ways.
