PIXGet

Designing web elements, or an interface for applications might require color specification to be added as code. There are multiple types of code, depending on the programming language used in development. In this regard, PIXGet helps you analyze the desktop in order to grab any color, and find out its corresponding code.

Can be used on the go

With no installation required, you get to check out the application’s set of features as soon as download is done. Moreover, this enables it to be carried around on a thumb drive, just in case you want to have a color picker at hand. Registry entries don’t become corrupt in the process, thus keeping stability intact.
The visual design is minimalistic, with a slim, intuitive interface housing all features. A neat preview area shows a 5x5 grid of pixels which constantly update according to mouse movement. Moreover, color codes like hexadecimal, RGB, and Long strings are also shown in real time.

Select the right tone and copy values

The application relies on hotkeys to help you pick just the right tone. On the one hand, hitting the “F” key freezes the picker so you can select, and copy values. On the other hand, you can use W,A,S, and D keys to navigate through the preview area in case you want to pick surrounding pixels, with value fields updating accordingly.
With the preview frozen you can write down values of interest in a separate editor. Luckily, there’s also a built-in hotkey to send all values to clipboard. Since hotkeys don’t use any special keys, and only consist of a single button, the application’s window needs to be in focus for them to function.

In conclusion

Taking everything into consideration, we can say that PIXGet is a lightweight, straightforward color picker which is sure to come in handy for grabbing different color codes from anything on screen. Hotkeys are neatly implemented and configured for enhanced comfort, letting you pick a color, freeze the preview, and copy all related values.
