This Weeks Useful Tool for Computer Users – ColorPix
I come across quite a few programs, applications and features almost every day in the course of normal work-a-day research trying to find the right tools to use in the Computer Consulting Business.
As a result, I often find some little known Free Downloadable or Online Features that could be of use to almost anyone to make their computing experience a little bit better and more productive.
This is just such a find…
How often do you see a color you want to use on your website or blog or maybe even for some printed material like your Business Cards? You can see it on your computer screen, but can only tell it’s some kind of Blue or Red but have no idea how to convert that into a numeric format that is usable.
ColorPix is a small (605kb) Windows application that is easy to use, just move your mouse over the screen and the numeric values of the colors will show in the sidebar. You can even Zoom the screen to make sure you are on the exact spot you want to see.
This is a Free application, but Color Schemer has other, more complex color coders for the more advanced designers and webmasters for the Pro (to buy) Apps.
I hope you find this tool to be something useful in your daily computing experience.
