Publisher's description of Pixie

view screenshots

From Nattyware:

Pixie is an easy-to-use, fast, and tiny utility designed especially to fit the needs of Webmasters and designers. It's a color picker that includes a mouse tracker. Run it and simply point to a color, and it will tell you the hex, RGB, HTML, CMYK, and HSV values of that color. You can then use these values to reproduce the selected color in your favorite programs. Pixie also will show the current 'xy' position of your mouse pointer. It's the only tool you'll need for working with colors.

Editor's review of Pixie

Never again will you have to take screenshots or pull up a color wheel to match color hues. Pixie lets you get the color values for any object, including for your desktop or for any window of any application. Once the program is installed and running, all you have to do is point the mouse cursor to a solid or text color. Pixie then displays the color values in a tiny window in several popular formats, including HTML color code, RGB and CMYK codes, HSV, and hex. Various hot keys make your work with Pixie more comfortable; for example, Ctrl+Alt+C copies the HTML value of a current color to your Windows clipboard. We loved the fact that, for complex images, you can magnify a 32-by-32 pixel area to choose a color from exactly the pixel you want. The program also displays the selected pixel and its corresponding X and Y coordinates. Pixie is a cool little program that makes it easy for users of all levels to instantly reproduce colors in their favorite programs or on their Web pages.

"Useful little color value displayer, good to have on your system."

by jocularjoseph13 on January 31, 2005

Pros: its strength is that it can show the color value(RGB, hue,saturation,etc.) of ANY pixel on the monitor screen.for 61k its 5 times its worth.

Cons: that is all the free version can do - i think there is a pro version from the same company, nattyware -check that out

"Perfect for what it does"

by excelsior on June 22, 2005

Pros: If all you need is to determine a hex/rgb value of a pixel, this very small footprint program is easily sufficent.

Cons: Thats ALL it does-no extra anything.
