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?

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.
