Just Color Picker

Handy tool for accurate on-screen color identification and palette creation

Versatile Color Picking Made Easy

Just Color Picker offers a practical solution for anyone needing precise color selection from their computer screen. Designed with both graphical designers and digital artists in mind, this utility presents accurate color values instantly as the mouse hovers over any pixel—helpful for design consistency and color matching across projects.

Comprehensive Color Information

The app supports a variety of well-known color formats, such as HEX, RGB, HTML, HSV, HSL, and CMYK, allowing effortless translation from on-screen color to code or print. As users move their cursor, Just Color Picker displays the corresponding color value, making it simple to replicate that exact shade in different graphics programs.

Color History and Palette Management

A standout feature is the ability to build a color history: users can quickly save the current selection with a single click, creating a sequence of preferred colors for future reference. However, the app’s palette is stored in memory only, so a manual save is necessary to keep the list after the session ends. The palette export and import functions, available in various formats (including .aco for Adobe Photoshop), help streamline workflow across multiple design environments.

Advanced Tools for Color Analysis

Just Color Picker includes robust extras such as a color wheel (customizable for both RGB and RYB models), a color mixer, and a gradient generator. The color wheel allows users to visualize color harmony and create complementary color schemes tailored to their projects. The built-in zoom tool enhances pixel-level precision, making sure the exact color is selected—even on high-resolution displays.

User-Friendly and Portable

Weighing in as a lightweight utility, Just Color Picker requires no installation—simply run the executable. Its compact size and straightforward interface contribute to hassle-free daily use. Additionally, the program is available in multiple languages and offers customizable hotkeys for rapid access to its features.

Performance and Compatibility

The application runs efficiently, consuming minimal system resources. It is compatible with all recent versions of Windows. The lack of installation makes it a handy choice for use from USB drives or shared workstations.
