Just Color Picker 5.2

The basic color picker in Windows is fine for most schmucks, but if you're a graphics professional, a designer, or a coder trying to find the color code for a background in a website, you'll need a program to let you select a more specific shade of color out of the millions of shades and hues possible. That's why programs like Just Color Picker exists. The best part of this program is that it's completely free!

It's a very simple program - no installation even required. When you boot it up, it takes the form of a tiny window that tracks your mouse cursor location and tells you the color code of whatever is directly under it. You can expand or reduce the area it reads under your cursor, down to a single pixel. You can also select a number of color formats. Just Color Picker supports HTML, RGB, RGB (0,1), HEX, HSB/HSV, HSL, AND HSL (Win). 

To select the color you want properly, you'll want to press Alt + X while you're hovering over whatever color you want to use. This "locks" the color in, and you'll be able to copy the value and the file list. You can also change the hotkeys to whatever you want if your hand can't quite manage the default ones under options. If you want to modify the color you locked in, you'll be able to adjust it with color sliders and editing. Just Color Picker is definitely one of the better free color selectors out there, and I highly recommend it.
