ColorCop allows you to magnify any part of your screen and pick a color from it using the eye dropper tool. The magnifier supports 1 to 16x zoom, and the eye dropper tool can pick an average color from a 3x3 or 5x5 area instead of sampling only a single pixel. The picked color can be easily exported to various formats required by HTML, Delphi, PowerBuilder, Visual Basic or Visual C++ etc.
Note: versions newer than v5.3 are no longer natively portable (see "What's new?" button above), because they leave traces in the system; as the license doesn't forbid redistribution, TPFC is making the natively portable v5.3 available for download.

Not sure why the author decided to make the settings store in the appData for the newer versions. Older versions are stealth.

WinPenPack launcher for 5.4.5: http://www.winpenpack.com/en/download.php?view.1070.
One could make a yaP config fairly easily as well.
v5.3
It also will retrieve the "powerbuilder" formatted colour codes. I needed those values for manually editing the styles.xml settings for TreeDBnotes.
v5.4.5
I've been happily using this program for years. It just works.
V5.4.5
version 5.4.5 is available on web site. download zip version.
Maybe a drive to make it more Windows 10 compatible, as later versions seem to have problems with it... (e.g., see https://github.com/ColorCop/ColorCop/releases/).
