It’s the little things

In this spirit, it’s always a joy for me to run into a tool that does exactly what you need perfectly, no more and no less. Especially when I’ve been searching for this utility for years! Recently I was lucky enough to stumble onto ColorPix, a free Windows utility that lets you sample colors off your screen, and gives you the hex code, RGB, CMYK and HSB of the color.

If you’ve ever edited any CSS, and you know how long it takes to start up Photoshop, this tool just tripled your productivity. Much like Firebug earlier this year, how did I not know this existed?! Many thanks to the good folks at Color Schemer.
