About this app

Pick colors from anywhere using the built-in color picker. Note: On macOS 26, a system bug causes the color sampler to sometimes pick the wrong color. The app relies on macOS's color sampler and canot fix this. ■ Features - Palettes - Recently picked colors - Quickly copy, paste, and convert colors in Hex, HSL, RGB, Unit RGB (0-1), OKLCH, LCH, CMYK format - Show as a normal app or in the menu bar - Pick a color or toggle the window from anywhere with a global keyboard shortcut - Make the window stay on top of all other windows - Launch it at login (when in the menu bar) - Hide menu bar icon - Shortcuts support - Import Simple Color Palette and Adobe Swatch Exchange (ASE) palettes ■ Tip Press the Space key while using the color sampler to show the RGB values.
