What is Instant Eyedropper?
Identifying the color code of an object on the screen is usually an involved, multistep process: You press the Print Screen key to copy a screenshot to the clipboard, load a graphics-editing program, create a new file, paste the screenshot from the clipboard, zoom in on the object, use the "Pick Color" tool, and finally copy the HTML code of the color to the clipboard.
Webmasters may repeat this operation many times a day. Just imagine how much time can be saved by using Instant Eyedropper to do the same thing with a single click!
The application is open sourced since 2020-11-03 and the code can be found on GitHub (https://github.com/miaupaw/instant-eyedropper).

Only thing missing is option to be able to push mouse cursor 1px by Arrow keys. And option to activate color picking the moment you run the app and exit the whole app once color has been picked.
Great ease of use, just hanging there in the task bar and you can just drag it to the pixels you're interested in. The problem I have with it, is that it does not only take the central pixel into consideration, but the average of all pixels that are in the preview. Sadly this can't be changed in the options setting.
I have yet to find a better version of this. My only complaint is that it only works on one screen. Having a three monitor set up, makes this difficult to use if the color you are trying to grab is on any screen other than the primary. You need to move the window to the primary to grab the color.
10 years later, I'm curious if this has been rectified?
