Works perfectly, with one exception
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.
