This is the built-in macOS color picker as a standalone app with lots of additional features. Quickly copy, paste, convert between different color formats, toggle it directly from the menu bar, keyboard shortcuts, launch it at login, and more.

I made this app as I generally like the built-in color picker on macOS, but I could only use it from inside certain apps. I also added some features I need all the time, like being able to copy-paste colors in various formats. The app is very customizable with a bunch of preferences. For example, you could put it in the menu bar, and show the color sampler with a global keyboard shortcut, and then have the color copied to the clipboard after picking. The app is open source on GitHub.

@sindresorhus I would love it if you combined what you built with Skala Color — it's my favorite color picket abandonware!

@sindresorhus @chrismessina if you have Skala Color installed it'll show in the System Color Picker ✨

Really great, and I love the monospaced font. Thanks for creating this.

Amazing, If I had a penny for the number of times I've needed to see and copy hex in the HSB view, I'd have a dozen more macs. Is there a way to replace the current system picker with this one?

@tavleensingh > Is there a way to replace the current system picker with this one? Unfortunately not, but I am planning to make a plugin for the built-in color picker, which would make it possible to bring parts of the app to any instance of the built-in color picker.

@sindresorhus I checked the other plugins in your readme file and none serve the purpose like your own plugin will. Looking forward to that.

Thanks for this app. I hate when I can't find the picker, so that option to keep it on top is pretty useful.

Great app but why is it on the category "iphone"?
Sindre Sorhus
@mallowigi I don't know. I didn't add it. It happens every time I post a Mac app.

@mallowigi @sindresorhus if you add an App Store link, Product Hunt automatically adds "iPhone" as a topic because it assumes that's available for iOS.
