    It's as easy as ColorCop and works on Mac OS X as well.

    It's more reliable, even though you have to use a keyboard combo--it gets the right color every time.

    Yes, it's a mostly good alternative. However, the only way to capture the color is to use a program-designated keyboard shortcut. I don't like this, personally, but others might be fine with it. Seems good otherwise. No install needed; just download and use.

    Small utility that can show you coordinates and color of any pixel on your screen in different formats (HEX, HTML, RGB, CMYK, HSV). It's staying on top, displays a color of that pixel under mouse cursor, the program can magnify that zone w/ hotkey.

    This application is geared towards advanced users (developers, designers, etc…), who not only need to pick a color but also modify or view it in different formats. For simply picking a color on Gnome, the color-picker extension is far better suited.
