Interesting interface though I find it hard to point exactly the pixel I need. Jumping of the mouse is also kind of irritating. CMYK support is a plus.

Personally I have my PrintScreen button mapped to Irfanview (i_view32.exe /capture=0) and shift+clicking in Irfanview copies the hex code to the clipboard (pixel color under cursor is displayed in the title of Irfanview on click). I found this solution to be the fastest way of getting a screen color.

@tproli

Check out ColorCap.
ColorCap captures the color codes for the pixel under the mouse cursor.

Thanks, that's another good candidate but I stick with Irfanview as I often do other tasks (cropping, copying areas of the screenshot, etc). My stripped down Irfanview is only 2.6 megs which is exactly the same size as ColorCap. Irfanview shows only rgb and html color codes but that's quite enough for me currently.
