Lately, I have been designing a wordpress theme. In order pick right colors, I needed a eye dropper tool to pick color on my desktop. So, my search began for such a tool. After trying few tool I landed upon Instant Eyedropper. A very simple and handy tool which occupies minimum workspace (resides in taskbar) when designing.

1. Move the mouse pointer to the Instant Eyedropper icon in the system tray.
2. Press and hold the left mouse button and move the mouse pointer to the pixel whose color you want to identify.
3. Release the mouse button.
4. That’s it. The clipboard now contains the color code – in HTML format (or any other format that you have previously specified). It can be pasted and used in any text or HTML editor or the Color Picker tool of Photoshop.
