Color Picker app for Mac

sweethtml5bro:

Click to download an AppleScript I wrote to turn the OS X color picker into a standalone app. It even has a nice icon.

Alternatively, you can write this app yourself by putting

choose color

in an applescript and saving it.

Also of note: Hex Color Picker x waffle software. Assign to a QuickSilver hotkey and access it anytime (useful when designing).

Why aren’t Hex numbers built into Color Picker again? If you save your own script as an app to launch from Quicksilver, add this code before ‘choose color’:

tell application "System Events" to set _frontMostApp to (name of processes whose frontmost is true)

set _frontMostApp to item 1 of _frontMostApp

tell application _frontMostApp to activate

- to avoid the Color Picker window appearing behind the current app.
