   I had no idea! But how can I get the Hex code from it?

   The hex code shows up in the three little boxes – you want the numbers there.

   Thanks you for this tip. I recently switched over to a Mac and have been looking for an eyedropper tool. Little did I know it was already on the Mac. Thanks.

   Hey–this was so helpful. I was trying to google something like eye dropper and your post came up in the results. Amazing to discover you already have something on computer that does exactly what you need–and you never even knew it was there. Makes me wonder what else I have that I don't even know about!

   Rita – sooo glad to help. I was using a similar thing on my work PC and was totally over the moon to find the feature on my Mac. I had the same feeling as you: what ELSE is there?

    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!

    I just wanted to thank you for this tip. You saved me today! I was searching endlessly for an app like this to support my Manga Studio 4 Debut (Comic Illustration Software) and you were the only person that seemed to know we Mac geeks already have the app on our computer. I will be premiering my new web comic on my site at the end of April. (maybe sooner thanks to you) All the best!

    That makes me very happy David. Good luck with the comic.

    Leave it to Apple to think of EVERYTHING (lol). Thanks for the tip Liz, this has saved me loads of time. Now if only they also had a tool to create a colour scheme from a colour you pick … Well, until they do, there's this awesome website I found: colorschemedesigner.com. Cheers!
