Beyond Colors

An eyedropper with a magnifier that picks any pixel on any monitor, copies its HEX, RGB and HSL codes, and builds a small palette around it. It lives in the Windows right-click menu, with a hotkey for windows that do not show that menu.

Where this stands

Everything in the catalogue is still in development. You can read what each application does, what it needs, and what it cannot do yet. Nothing here is open to download or buy. Leave your email and you will hear from us the day that changes, once and about that only.

What it does

Point at any color on screen. Keep it.

An eyedropper with a magnifier The cursor becomes a pipette with a round magnifier showing the pixels underneath and the exact code of the one in the middle. Click to take it. Works on every monitor and display scale.

Right where you right-click Get Color sits in the first Windows 11 right-click menu, not under Show more options. Win + Alt + C covers the windows that draw their own menus.

Every code, copied Each pick copies the HEX, RGB and HSL codes, and every color in a palette has its own copy buttons.

A palette from one color Every pick becomes a palette: the color itself, a lighter and a darker shade, its complement and an analogous color. You can also start one from a HEX code you type in.

Pixel precise Arrow keys move one pixel, Shift moves ten, the mouse wheel zooms, and Esc cancels without saving anything.
