ColorMania 6.3.5782.32767
Free
ColorMania is a color picking utility designed for Windows PCs. It might prove to be of good use to graphic designers or developers who are looking for a quick and easy way to determine color codes on their computers.
ColorMania lives in your System Tray from where you can access its main screen and settings. It supports a lot of color code formats, allows you to store your favorite shades into a palette, and provides you with a quick way to copy the resulting code to your clipboard.
The built-in magnifying tool has its own set of settings. You can zoom in any area from your desktop and quickly capture the shade you need.
The only thing missing from this application is an option to define a global hotkey for immediately revealing the color picking tool. Instead, you need to go to System Tray, click the ColorMania's icon, and select the color picking tool every time you need to identify a shade code. Even though this isn't a big deal, it would be a plus for the utility.
In conclusion, ColorMania proves to be a reliable solution for identifying color codes on your Windows PC. It's easy-to-use, works 100%, and comes without a price.
