I came across a cool little free utility today: Pixie. It does only one very simple thing: it shows the color of the pixel under the mouse in various measurement systems: HTML, RGB, hex, CYMK, and HSV. This is really useful if you're designing a Web site or an image and want to use the same color as an existing image. In the image below, the mouse pointer isn't shown, but it's over the orange part of the Blogger icon in the "Weblog" box at the right.
Happy Halloween!

Nice find, Doug. I am colorblind (I have a red/green deficiency) and find this type of tool invaluable. I've been using WhatColor (http://www.hikarun.com/e/) for a number of years. WhatColor has a slight advantage over Pixie in that it also gives the color name. Very helpful when I am trying to describe the various elements of a screen to someone or when they are describing a screen to me.
Hi Doug,
And why not do it with our beloved fox?
