ColorSlurp
My color picker is ColorSlurp. I use the pro version, for which I did a one-time purchase. I think that way of purchasing is not available anymore. Now you have to subscribe a yearly subscription and I think the subscription is expensive. I´m not sure if I would go down that route.
The features are good:
- The basic picking of a color from the screen is unobtrusive. Start picking with the keyboard command Shift ⌘ M (you can adjust the shortcut). You can as well open ColorSlurp through the Menu Bar or the Dock.
- Picking a color is supported by a magnifier. The magnifier can be configured in size and how much it magnifies (zoom level).
- Recently picked colors are available in a short list and you can configure in what format the colors are copied to the clipboard when clicking on a color. My format is HEX.
- You can check WCAG contrast of two colors .
- You can create palettes from picked colors, by manually adding a color, or by extracting colors from an imported image. The palettes can be synced via iCloud among your devices.
- Every palette color automatically receives a name, like Gold Drop, Galliano, Jumbo, and the like. You can overwrite those names.
- Colors from palettes can be copied into multiple different formats to reuse them in a different context (e.g.: HEX, CSS HSLA, CSS RGBA, and others I have never used nor seen before).
- Palettes can be exported in CSS format, plain text, PDF, images, and even as an iPhone wallpaper, to share them.
