    Pic Pick is not an Eye Dropper or Screen color picker. Very different tools. All the alternatives seem to be fine, just this one.

    If you want to choose a color palette for UI properly, the least you have to do is put them on a lofi UI or grayscale the entire UI on Figma, Adobe XD, or similar platforms to get a better idea of what those colors will actually look like on a product.

    It has a top-notch design, is quite fast, and has great features, so it's better to read about all the possibilities on the Microsoft website. It is also open-source with constant active participants, so the functionality does not stand still
