    I am not a designer, nor a color combination expert, hence I never looked towards a possibility of installing a color picker. Whenever I needed to pick a color from a website , I used photoshop and pasting the snapshot of the website in photoshop. But now things have changed as I have encountered a free and best color picker from iconico.com . The advantage is the very easy to use interface and simple key combination (Ctrl + G) to grab a color. The application is very small in size ( 600 KB) .

    color picker from iconico

    The advantage stated at website are as follows :-

    • Easily pick any color from the screen
    • Totally 100% Free!
    • No popup adverts or spyware, it really is free
    • Colors shown in hex and decimal
    • Adjust Hue, Saturation, Value, Red, Green and Blue values
    • Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and Black percentages shown
    • Easy to use with any other program
    • Resizable magnification area
    • Overlay a grid for quick colorpicker alignment
    • Use arrow keys to nudge mouse pointer
    • Save multiple palettes of colors automatically
    • WebSafe Colors and names displayed
    • Snap to nearest WebSafe color
    • Point sample, 3×3 or 5×5 pixel color sampling
    • Adjust color with four advanced color mixers
    • Edit colorpicker values after selection easily
    • Easy to use collapsible sections
    • Works with Firefox, Internet Explorer, Photoshop and any other application

    You can download the colorpicker version 4 from here .. else you can download it directly from the website (The download link was resulting in an error, last time when i tried).

    Do you also use color picker while designing ?? Which color picker do you use ?? Please mention with your comments !!

    I use Eltima Absolute Color Picker for this purpose. It is also free.
