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.

Requirements

• Windows 11, 64 bit

Installing

See Installing a Beyond application for what the installer does and where it puts things. Your computer checks the download for you, and that page also shows how to check it yourself if you would rather.

Features

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.

Licensing

Beyond Colors uses the standard Beyond licence: checked on your own machine, with your devices managed by you. See Licences and activation.
