Miscellaneous Software - Pixeur Color Picker for Windows

SUMMARY: Pixeur is a color picker for Windows that displays chosen colors in HSB, RGB, CMYK, and hexadecimal formats.

Graphics designers, webpage editors, programmers developing GUIs, and others may need to use color-picking tools when designing layouts, ensuring different elements have common colors or color schemes. With Pixeur, a DonationWare application for Windows, you can easily choose colors and display values in multiple ways - hue, saturation, and brightness; red, green, and blue; cyan, magenta, yellow, and black; and hexadecimal.

Pixeur also lets you drag a bulls-eye (or cross or droplet) from the application to any area of the screen, "grabbing" the color value underneath. The software includes an RGB history of picked colors, allowing you to perform a series of color picking then record the values later. Features useful for webmasters include a link to copy the hexadecimal color value and a checkbox to limit the color palette to "web colors" if sites need to be designed for those with limited system color palettes. Plus, for convenience the software minimizes to the System Tray area of the Windows Taskbar.
