I’m a regular user of ColorZilla for Firefox but there are occasions when my color picking possibilities need to include the desktop and in those cases Instant Eyedropper is the tool of choice. Its a little awkward at first but once you get used to the way it works you will never want to go back. Just left click and hold the system tray application and drag the little window over the pixel that you want pick up coloring information on. A nice feature in the Instant Eyedropper tool is that it automatically takes the HTML color or RGB color and puts it into your clipboard so you can copy and paste into your application of choice. This little tool should be in every developer’s arsenal.

Got something to say?
Wow, this is an awesome program. I’m forever doing screenshots, then copying it into paint. Getting the RBG colour then converting it to # in dreamweaver. This program does it in a couple clicks.
Thanks for the post!
One question though, how much ram would it take?
Does this need to be installed? I use HTMLCol cause there’s no installation necessary (I like to keep my system clean LOL) but it’s a little clunky so if your tool’s better, I’d switch
Quite a nice tool. However, I have an alternative:
I use PhotoShop to pick colors on other screens (yes it can do that - when picking a color, drag the cursor in the area just outside of the iage and it should act as a color-picker, sort of like a hidden feature).
*It’s quite easy to convert normal colors (RGB) to hex. You can use a calculator to do that, or perhaps Photoshop again.
