This is a great little utility program that can determine hexidecimal color codes from a web page. Ever visit a site and really liked a background color or font color? Absolute Color Picker will allow you to drag your mouse over a color and grab its hexidecimal number!
Simply launch this utility, click in the white box in the lower right-hand corner, hold down your mouse, and drag it to a color on a web page. Release the mouse, and you’ll see the hex code in the white text box. You can store colors in the boxes to the left.
- History of selected colors – up to 12 slots to save the color in
- Screen eye-dropper – pick any color directly from screen
- HTML color conversion
- Customizable color selection dialogs: select only hose color models that are convenient for you
- Many predefined color palettes
- Compare current and previous color
- Customize brightness, hue, saturation and other parameters separately to match your exact selection
This is a great utility for web designers and web developers who work a LOT with hexidecimal color codes and need to convert them to HTML format. I’ve been using this a LOT lately. A really good time saver.
