Hex Color Picker

I'll add my plaintive plea for a fix to the comment-password system.

"that password thing to comment is so retarded. "

be thankful they haven't implemented that even more retarded comment threading system like at engadget. it has to be the most poorly designed comments system i've ever seen.

Anyway, Hex colour picker : EXCELLENT

Nice try, TUAW, but you don't have your own shade of blue...

For those who have problems with TUAW password, try this : http://www.abracode.com/ClipMasterCM/moreinfo.html

So... is TUAW just going to write articles about whatever the Freemacware.com pick of the day is? Seems to be the trend...

thanks.

I'll stick to this one...even simpler..

and you can't beat that name!

Cool ... the only thing I would change would be to let you see multiple color hex codes without having to click on the magnifying glass each time ...

(note to Oliver: you're not alone in your feelings/frustrations)

this should have been by default in mac os x, right?
the mac color palette has always been a source of frustration.
thanks waffles! it's awesome.

(note to TUAW: that password thing to comment is so retarded. i never remember the complex password you've sent, safari doesn't want to store it for some reason, and i can't find how to customize it... so i have to do the email thing all the time.)

I can see the use of this, but the built in "DigitalColor Meter" may be a better solution for most. For one thing it comes with OS X. Secondly, you can mouseover anything on your screen to get a color reading off of it. You're not limited to a pinpoint color either. Expand the aperture slider and you get an average of all colours under the "lens."
