Evaluation and conclusion

As we expected, the software program didn't put a strain on the overall performance of the computer in our tests, thanks to the fact that it needed low CPU and memory. It didn't cause any Windows stability issues, although it hasn't been updated for a long time. No error dialogs popped up and it didn't hang or crash.On the other hand, Color Picker has limited features. For example, it doesn't contain a magnification tool that follows to mouse when searching for a color, nor does it store codes for multiple colors. Nevertheless, you can test it for yourself.
