About:
Pixel Picker is a lightweight menu bar utility for macOS that enables precise colour sampling from anywhere on your screen. It provides real-time colour value display in multiple formats and allows you to quickly copy hex, RGB, or HSL values to your clipboard. The tool is ideal for designers and developers who need to extract exact colour values from images, applications, or websites.

Key Features:

Real-time colour sampling from any screen area
Support for multiple colour formats (HEX, RGB, HSL, HSB, CMYK)
Menu bar utility for quick access
Copy to clipboard functionality
Lightweight and native macOS application

Use Cases:

Extracting brand colours from existing designs for consistency
Getting exact colour values for CSS or design system implementation
Sampling colours from images, videos, or UI elements for reference

Alternatives:

Digital Colour Meter – Built-in macOS tool but lacks quick format switching and clipboard automation
Sip – More feature-rich but paid application with additional collaboration features
ColorSnagger – Similar functionality but different pricing model and interface approach
