OS X Color Picker

So I needed to figure out the hex values for a color a few minutes ago. OS X has a built in color app but it’s a bit hard to get to. Thanks to this blog post, I found out all I need to do is fire up Applescript and type “choose color” and save that as an application. Add in the free HexColorPicker and away I go.

Makes my day in library land a little easier. On another note, I may get back to posting on a more regular basis eventually. :-)

Update: Another good (and free) color app to have, exColor.
