Instant eyedropper for Mac

11 Apr

digitalcolor-meter

On my PC at work I use a great app for Windows called Instant Eyedropper which identifies a hex colour when you hover your mouse over any colour on screen. This is a brilliant tool.

The only downside is that the app is only available for PC.

Today I was searching for something similar for use on my Mac.

Well lo and behold! An identical app comes ready installed on your Mac. Who knew?

DigitalColor Meter.app comes with Mac and you’ll find it in this folder /Applications/Utilities/

    Sweet! I'm switching to a Mac this week, and this was one tiny app whose loss I knew I'd feel on a daily basis. Thanks for the tip!
