I couldn't find a built-in color picker in OS X. On the web, I saw hints on that "great Apple Color Picker", but when I searched my hard drive, it wasn't there.

A color picker is quite necessary to specify colors, and I don't want to open/switch to Photoshop every time.



I found this shareware program, called Color Picker Pro.

Has anybody worked with this one - or any other color picker?

I tried out the color picker I posted the link to.

I'd rather do two clicks to access Photoshop's color picker, which is infinitesimally better than this crappy appy.

By the way: if you don't have Photoshop, the same color picker should be on "Elements".
