how to pick up colors

(1/3) > >>

kalos:
hello

can you tell me please the most accurate to pick up a color from screen, a graphics file, a screenshot, etc?

ie, to get the color code (RGB, etc) of a color in a file so that I can reproduce it

I have tested some color pickers that don't work well

thanks

mouser:
you definitely want a color picker program, they run from very simple and elegant (ColorCop), to more complex shareware tools that include lots of extra features for coming up with color combinations (Color Schemer).

I've used color cop in the past

FastStone Capture is a nice all-around capture tool which includes a color picker. No longer free, but you can still track down the last freeware version.

While we are mentioning screenshot capturing, i'll just mention that my Screenshot Captor program comes preconfigured with ColorCop in the Tools menu.  :)
