There are a lot of color options when it comes to screens. But what if you want to pick just a few colors that will work best for you? That’s where eyedropper technology comes in. With an eyedropper, you can select any color from any screen without having to go through all the trouble of trying them all out. Plus, it’s easy to use - just place the cursor over the color you want and press the left or right button to get a list of colors that match that selection.
There’s a small utility called Instant Eyedropper that runs in your system tray and will let you easily select a color from anywhere on the screen.
Just click on the icon in the system tray and Hold down the mouse button… you’ll see a little selector window as you move your mouse around the screen. Releasing the mouse button will copy that color to the clipboard.
The right-click menu for the tray icon will let you choose between a whole bunch of formats… mostly useful for programmers or professional designers.
The Options dialog will let you choose from a number of different color formats, as well as change the resolution of the selector window.
The biggest problem with this application is that there’s no keyboard shortcut… perhaps one of the readers can suggest a tool that includes one.
