i am looking for a simple app to find colors, like the option you have in photoshop or illustrator.
Say you have a color. to get a variant, i c&p the code, say #aacb23, in the photoshop color picker window and tweak it a little to get a different version of the color.
But it's a bit silly to start Photshop just to find a color. There's plenty of colorpicker type apps, but none in which in can C&P a code....

I don't know when you got your computer, but my PowerBook came with a program called Art Directors Toolkit that can do this.

Try ColourMod. It comes in several flavors (Widget, Konfabulator, stand alone, etc.) and allows you to cut and paste. And its free!

The OS ColorPicker has a few nifty tricks up its sleeves. Plus it supports third party pickers. I suggest using it where ever you can.
Sweet, check this out...

set theColor to (choose color)
set the clipboard to my RGB2HTML(theColor)
on RGB2HTML(RGB_values)
-- NOTE: this sub-routine expects the RBG values to be from 0 to 65536
set the hex_list to ¬
{"0", "1", "2", "3", "4", "5", "6", "7", "8", ¬
"9", "A", "B", "C", "D", "E", "F"}
set the the hex_value to ""
repeat with i from 1 to the count of the RGB_values
set this_value to (item i of the RGB_values) div 256
if this_value is 256 then set this_value to 255
set x to item ((this_value div 16) + 1) of the hex_list
set y to item (((this_value / 16 mod 1) * 16) + 1) of the hex_list
set the hex_value to (the hex_value & x & y) as string
end repeat
return ("#" & the hex_value) as string
end RGB2HTML
