How to pick a certain color on my desktop?

Are you having problems grabbing the exact color code or HEX value of a certain pixel on your desktop? For example you encountered a web page and you really like the color combination, and you want to save it’s HEX or color code value. How do you go around this without installing a new software. Well, I want to share to you a cool lightweight application to do this simple job.

Here is a simple description of the free desktop color picker tool I found on colorschemer.com.

ColorPix is a useful little color picker that grabs the pixel under your mouse and transforms it into a number of different color formats.

You can use the built-in magnifier to zoom in on your screen, click on a color value to copy it directly to the clipboard, and even keep ColorPix on top of all other apps and out of the way.

Best of all, there’s nothing to install – just download the tiny app and off you go. So grab it now, it’s FREE!
