Pixeur can easily view the color, RGB, Hex, and Long value of any color you see. It will also keep a history of all colors you have selected, so going back is as simple as choosing the color from the Color History list.

    I think the color is actually very well done. Its just like the Photoshop color picker without all the overhead. Simple, easy and effective.

    Does what it says...picks colours. I use Color Cop and I hate to say it, but it blows this away with support for HTML Hex, Delphi Hex, PowerBuilder, Visual Basic Hex, and Visual C++ Hex. Plus it's portable and doesn't take a dump in my system folder. Pixeur really doesn't do much for anyone other than the absolute beginner to graphics and even then I wouldn't recommend it. It has no options and the style of colour palette is nearly impossible to work with.

    Just a couple of alternative
    ColorPic from iconico.com (less than 500kb)
    CSamp (246 kb) both freeware

    There's a difference between constructive criticism (which I have no issue with) and users you just want to complain.

    I encourage users to send me information on how to make my applications better for them, or for anyone.

    Veign, your app is rated 4.6 - plz stop the blubbering. When you're not taking shots at the reviewers, you're repeatedly crying over some pretty mild criticism. If you didn't want it reviewed, why post it here in the first place.

    The CMYK values are completely wrong. Compare them to this web site CMYK calculator: http://web.forret.com/tools/color.asp.

    I just don't understand some people. Create an application, give it out for free, and give out source code to help other developers and people still choose to complain. Its users like you (the ones complaining about me) that I would prefer to not have use my application - go buy an application.

    It really makes no difference. Look around FileForum and many authors do this to respond to trolls like you guys. Besides, the author can reset the app's rating at any time and start over. Would you have an author vote their app crap — would that give you more confidence in it? As if you want them to say: "I built this app; I rate it as crap, however, I hope you use it." Pixeur is the class of its category, period, and it's not costing you anything.

    Reviewing 2.9.0.4 (Oct 26, 2006)

    Well, this is a good simple app the fills the need when you have it. It's very usable and comes in handy without the need to fire up a huge program like Photoshop. The GUI is a bit unrefined though (text trails of unfinished after the drag icon, the hyperlink-looking copy button, etc).

    I feel like subtracting two more stars though when I see the author below voting 5 times for his own app and flaming reviewers. Chill out dude.

    Hi, i like this program, it makes alot of work very easy and quick.
    I have a coupple of suggestions for the next versions:
    Abillity to make the program smaller (In pixels), maybe so you only have the tracking device and hex code. Right now it take alot of space, so if it could be maybe 200x60px (Or even smaller) it would be very easy to fit somewhere on the screen.
    Hotkey to call the program from tray.
    Toggle allways on top when not using the program.

    Very nice!
    Having to work a lot with video I would really appreciate if color info could be displayed in YCbCr format (both 0/255 and 16/235).

    Thanks!

    "VB using external .OCX,"

    What does that have to do with anything? If you don't like installs then move along - won't hurt my feelings...

    If only Paint Shop Pro had Pixeur built into it. I keep commenting on this app because I use it all the time, and because it can't get any easier than this.

    Tried Colourificator and Pixeur side by side. Pixeur hands down without a doubt. Pixeur, corvette. Colourificator, chevette. Pixeur, 100lb. sledgehammer. Colourificator, rubber mallet. Absolutely, completely, 100% no comparision between the two. Save yourself time and go with Pixeur.

    Definitely a time-saver and ideal for defining colors exactly as you need them. I saw a remodeler using Pixeur on a laptop to identify and change paint colors for various rooms in a virtual house for a client this week.

    Why? That is such a bad interface. You are probably associated with the application and am just spamming these comments

    Reviewing 1.1.0.1 (Jun 3, 2005)

    To think of all the time I have wasted trying to get this information for a vb application or a web page! All I needed was Pixeur. I especially love the ability to drag around the desktop to get the exact RGB or HEX color value for any color I can see!

    - Enter color by RGB

    - Enter color by HEX

    - Enter color by Long Value

    - Enter color by name

    - Enter color by Drag to color on the desktop

    - Paste to the clipboard.

    What more could you ask? Maybe a monkey to code you application and laugh all the way to the bank for you.

    Only thing this applet does that other color pickers don't do is maintain a history. But ~that's~ a nice feature !
