Pixie is a utility made especially for webmasters and designers with the ability to simply point to a color and get the color's values in HEX, RGB, HTML, CMYK and HSV. You can then use these values to reproduce the selected color in a wide variety of programs. Pixie will also show the current coordinates of your mouse pointer.

Does anyone know an alternative to Pixie that works well on HiDPI monitors? Pixie doesn't correctly detect the current mouse's pixel on high monitor resolutions well.

@Mixture - Thanks! I decided to go with the original inspiration for Power Toys's Color Picker - https://github.com/martinchrzan/ColorPicker. It's not portable, but it is simple like Pixie. Colora was also a consideration, but it was a bit less easy to use, so I decided not to go with it. ColorGrab is a no-go because it uses Electron which is too heavy for a simple color picker utility. |
ColToHex is a RGB (Red Green Blue values) to HEX-type color converter. It allows you to preview the text and link colors against the background color to see they make a good match. It can also generate HTML code complete with background, text and link color tags.

ColorPic is an easy program to pick any color from the screen and to store it in different palettes automatically (single XML file), ready to be used. Colors are shown in hex and decimal. It can show and modify many values (Hue, Saturation, RGB and so on). It also uses a resizable magnification area and collapsible sections. It can calculate web-safe colors.
NOTE: Program became shareware, linking to Archive.org to the latest freeware version.

Very nice. Big help in concert with some PowerPoint work I was doing to try and track down a similar color scheme.
