Color Picker App Reviews

This app doesn’t do very much, but what it does, it does perfectly. The time savings alone make purchasing this app a no-brainer. e.g. With Color Picker: 1. click a color anywhere on screen 2. open Xcode and paste 3. Profit! Without Color Picker: 1. try to figure out what color something on your screen is 2. convert it from hex to normalized 0-255 values for Red/Green/Blue/Alpha 3. type out [UIColor colorWithRed:0.85 green:0.25 blue:0.75 alpha:1.0]; 4. punch self for spending your last 99 cents on Kim Kardashian: Hollywood instead of buying this app

It does what it does very well!

I like the app, but the icon problem is annoying. I installed 2.3 to fix it, but it does not fix it.

Color values are not correct, making the application just a good idea, but not useful for a web designer.

Seriously - if youre going to say you support Dark Mode, you should actually support it. Im running the latest version of Color Picker on 10.10.2.

do not download. the application will not open/show in the menu bar for me.

This looks like it could be a very useful utility, but I use dark mode and I can find no way to switch the menubar icon to white. Even a short bit of documentation on the website would be helpful instead of a bunch of quotes raving about the product. I don’t care what others think at this point, I PURCHASED THE APP. What I want to know is the most effective ways to USE it. Emails to customer support have never been returned. Completely non-responsive.

Okay, this product is awesome and as a designer I use it many times a day. It’s unobtrusive and works exactly how I like it (set to automatically copy the #hexcode to my clipboard) and it’s simply always there for me to use. It never crashes or bugs out. The ONE PROBLEM I’ve had with this app is not actually the app’s fault, but certain designers should keep this in mind: The tool tells you the color of the pixel on the screen - that’s it. If you have your monitor set up with a custom or non-standard color profile, that means your mac is correcting it before it hits your screen. So, if you are trying to copy colors from a website with this tool, be sure to go to Preferences > Displays > Color > and set Display Profile (for all displays!) to “Color LCD”. Anything else is a crap shoot, and you may not be getting the color you want. Of course, this is an advantage if you want to know the actual color your eyeballs are seeing and are trying to replicate that instead of what the subject application is calling for.
