Lightweight desktop color-capture utility

Working with colors across different applications can be trickier than it first appears because each program may use its own format. ColorPix is a small, free desktop utility created to simplify that task. It reads the color directly beneath the mouse pointer and converts it into common, usable codes for later use.

Core capabilities

  • Copy the color value under your cursor instantly for reuse in other programs.
  • Zoom in on the screen so you can select a single pixel with precision.
  • Output the sampled color in several standard formats (for example, HEX, RGB, HSL) so it’s easy to import elsewhere.
  • Store or export captured values for reference when recreating exact tones.

Startup, interface options, and system footprint

  • Configure the program to launch automatically when your system boots for immediate access.
  • Minimize the tool to the system tray to keep it out of the way while working.
  • Lock a chosen color and its code with a single keypress to prevent accidental changes.
  • The installer is extremely small (around 605 KB), making it suitable for older machines or systems with limited storage.
