logo[1]Perhaps it is because I’ve always had great access to graphic design tools like Photoshop and Fireworks that I’ve never:

  1. Thought to write an application like this myself
  2. Thought to even do a search for it.

Probably one of the most often repeated actions sitting at a computer, creating websites is finding the RGB or HEX values of a particular colour you need to use.  I used to take a screen grab and use the eyedropper in whatever application I had open.  With this great little application, you just SHIFT+LEFTCLICK on the icon in your system tray, drag the little window to the pixel you want and it puts the value in your clipboard.

Efficiency + 1.
