Instant Eyedropper
Sunday Sit, Sip, and “Sync” ~ 3-11-2012
While formatting backgrounds and colors,
I want elements to match and compliment.
When opening up my color formatting options,
I’m directed to “More Colors…”,
and I have the option to enter the coding to get the precise color I want.
One tool I have found to be invaluable is the
“Instant Eyedropper”.
A free download, this little web tool quietly hangs out on my Windows Taskbar.
When I need to know the exact color of a pixel, I just click on the icon
and drag it to the pixel. Once I have hovered over the pixel,
I release the “eyedropper”,
and the color code is automatically copied to my clipboard.
Next, I just enter the code into my formatting options,
and I have the exact color I am looking for.
The color codes this tool supports are:
- HTML
- HEX
- Delphi Hex
- Visual Basic Hex
- RGB
- HSB
With this little tip, we hope your Sunday is filled with color…
the colors of spring, that is, with only nine days left until that day!
