ever wanted to get the hex value of any pixel on your screen without firing up another large app? these two small utilities have been indispensable during my latest web project:

• hex color picker from waffle software - add a hex tab to the mac os x color picker. all of your apps using the system color picker will get the new hex tab.
• colorpicker from robin wood - call the mac os x color picker independently from other apps. sometimes i don’t feel like firing up photoshop…

thanks to limi for hinting that something like this exists and that i should look into it.
