Absolute Color Picker

Absolute Color Picker is a freeware product by Eltima Software. If you are a html designer then you must need this software. You can choose varieties of colors & get color codes easily from it to design your website. It is the one of my favorite web development tools & softwares in my Quick Launch list. So why should you need this as you can get color code from photoshop, paint or other image editing software? Well, the most important part of this ActiveX Control is, you can select color from anywhere in you screen, desktop or even from another webpage instantly & get hexadecimal or 256 color codes. To copy a color from screen click & hold down your mouse pointer on the white rectangle part above Apply button and release it above your desire location. Here is a screenshot of this software:


There are 9 color choosing options or palettes available in this software. These are - HSB brightness, HSB radial, HSB hue, RGB 3D, Sphere, HSB Hue 2, Pens, Hexagons, Palettes. Full features listed in the Eltima.com are:

  • 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
