Pick a Color on Mac — The Simple Way

Sometimes you just need one color.

Pick a Color on Mac — The Simple Way

Sometimes you just need one color.

A button color from a website.
A background color from a screenshot.
A UI color from an app.
A quick HEX value for CSS, HTML or a design note.

Pick a Color on Mac — The Simple WayColor Capture Pro keeps this workflow as simple as possible:

  • Click Pick Color.
  • Click anywhere on your screen.
  • The color is captured and copied as HEX. Now paste it where you need it.

color: #FE5E31;The app also shows common color formats like HEX, RGB, HSL and CMYK, so you can copy the value that fits your workflow.

There are many color picker apps on the Mac App Store.
Color Capture Pro is for people who want the fastest possible path from screen color to usable value.

Pick color. Paste. Done.
