New entry: Color Cop - free and powerful color picker

Sunday, November 23rd, 2008

Ever needed an eyedropper tool like the one in Photoshop or other image editors, but for the whole system? Are you a web developer or graphics designer? Do you simply work with colors a lot?

If you answered yes to any of the questions above, I have a treat for you: Color Cop. It’s a free, small and flexible color picker for Windows I can no longer live without.

Beside the obvious color picking business, it’s able to do slightly more advanced stuff like magnification, snapping to web-safe colors and average sampling.

“Picked” colors can be returned in various formats: HTML Hex, Delphi Hex, PowerBuilder, Visual Basic Hex, and Visual C++ Hex. For HTML, the “ommit hex symbol” option is often useful. By the way, the options menu can be accessed by right clicking the program’s window.

Color Cop also includes a color history (so you won’t lose previously picked colors too soon). There’s also a complementary pallette (42 entries), but there are software packages much more suited for that kind of stuff.

To install the latest version (5.4.5), simply download the zip archive and extract it to a folder. Optionally, create a shortcut in a handy location, such as the desktop or start menu. If you prefer to download an installer, there is one available, but it’s for an older version (5.4.3). Both downloads can be found below.
