Aquarelle Picker1.0

Although it’s relatively easy to tell colors by name, a computer doesn’t work in the same manner. Programming languages need exact code to render the colors you want to see, which can’t be remembered so easily. Luckily, specialized applications like Aquarelle Picker allows you to find the corresponding code for any color on the desktop.

Intuitive design offers all details

First of all, the application doesn’t take you through the steps of an installer, so it’s safe to assume that the health status of the target computer isn’t affected, because registry entries remain intact the whole time. Since it comes in a lightweight package, it’s easy to have it deployed on a thumb drive to serve as your personal color picker.The application presents its features in a custom-made interface, which only takes up little space on the desktop. You can move it anywhere, and even have it minimized. At the press of a button, the help window shows up to let you know how you can obtain the color codes of interest. There’s a preview section to display the exact color under the cursor.

Hotkeys to copy values of interest

Even though the window is minimalistic, it manages to offer quite the variety of details. As such, you can find the coordinates of the cursor, as well as color codes under formats like RGB, HTML, HSB, CMYK, as well as lab.Sadly, there’s no option to freeze the values at a specific value, but the application makes it easy to bypass this. In other words, there’s a custom hotkey for each type of code to send it to clipboard, so all you need to do is make sure the window is in focus, place the cursor over the color of interest, and press the hotkey command for the code of interest.

To end with

All things considered, we can state that Aquarelle Picker is a suitable color picker which provides quite the variety of codes. You can easily carry it around on a thumb drive to use on other computers, while grabbing the code of interest is comfortably done through hotkeys.
