I must have purchased just about every Mac colour picker in existence and most are a let down, every time I come back to Sip. You could really do with having a free trial so we can try it out before purchasing.
Having said that I still purchased it 😆
@ryan_roberts1 what's your take? As much as I enjoy Sip, there are a ton of wonky UI issues that still bug me.

@jeremybeasley I went back to using Sip even though it's buggy like you say. Colormate is a nice small app but I found it awkward to use for color palette compared to Sip.

StudentWhat's up guys! I made Colormate because I wanted a more minimal color picker that still had color editing and palette management.
Some tips:
* Hit ⌘ to go to your Recents/Palettes.
* You can use the scroll wheel for the color sliders.
* Hold shift to pick multiple colors.
Thanks for checking it out!
UPDATE (5/30): PickIt has been renamed to Colormate and has moved from Gumroad to the Mac App Store. For those of you who bought Colormate as PickIt from Gumroad, I am working on a way to help you migrate to the Mac App Store version without having to buy it again (I will email you guys via Gumroad).

@serobinson111 Quick suggestion for you, how about showing the latest colour in the manu bar icon?
[edit] and dark mode support ;)

Have purchased and started using. Generally decent, but needs a global shortcut to really be useful for me.
