Native OS X Color Chooser/Grabber?
Brad (22 points) | Sun, 2005-06-12 05:31While I'm coding CSS, what would be the easiest way for me to choose or grab colors and get their 3 or 6 digit code? Are there any plugins for TextWrangler or Safari (I know one exists for Firefox, but Firefox seems to eat up system resources on my Mac much faster then Safari). Without opening Photoshop or Dreamreaver, I was curious how this is done. Is there a lightweight method to finding colors? What do you use? What would you recommend? Keep in mind I need an OS X app, not Windows.
Thanks,
Brad

Theres an AWESOME app that I use all the time, its called XScope http://www.iconfactory.com/xs_home.asp
believe me this will rock your world ;)
the features I use most :
- using screens to make sure my designs fit in 800 600 / 1024 etc
- color picker
- rulers
- guide line / cross hair lines
Its simply brilliant!!! (not free though but its not that expensive)

Have you considered the Digital Color Meter, which should be present on your hard drive already?
Phosphor! It works great! I'll have to blog it! :D
