I’ve been using a program for the past couple of months that I wish I had found years ago.

Pixie is a great free software that uses next to nothing as far as computer resources go, and is a must-have for any graphic artist or web developer.

When you’ve got Pixie open, you can just hold your mouse over the color you want to know the details of and Pixie will spit out the HEX, HTML, RGB, CMYK and HSV values for that color! I use it all the time when I browse the web and find a site with a great color scheme. I’ll open Pixie and use it to tell me what the color values are they’re using on their site. Or, if you have an image that you would like to use, but would like a font to match a particular color within the image, just use Pixie.

I chose Pixie over other similar programs because its free, small and simple. When you’re looking for a program to perform a specific task, sometimes it’s better when it doesn’t come with all kinds of fancy bells and whistles.

If interested you can download Pixie from: http://www.nattyware.com/pixie.html
