Graphic designers may see colors that they'd like to use in their own projects but identifying the type of color can be very difficult. With Anry Color Picker, you can get the exact color value of any pixel, this simple program works quickly when it's open, just point your mouse anywhere on the screen and you'll be informed about the color of the pixel. The 3x/9x zoom really helps you pinpoint things specifically instead of generally. You can get the color value in five formats: HTML, RGB, HEX, HSB/HSV, and HSL. If you require the code of this program to be copied in part or full, it can be done. Copy the same with a single button click onto your clipboard. Anry Color Picker can even remember the history of all chosen colors. Just copy the value you want and use it in your graphic work when the need arises. There are RGB and RYB color wheels and color mixer. Anry Color Picker also includes one more useful tool - with this feature you can easily pick harmonious colors, for example, for your web site. Just choose your favorite color and the color picker will find the best colors harmonically matched with yours.
