delicolour is a lightweight colour finder.
The goal of delicolour is to have a straightforward user experience for the task of choosing a colour (mainly for web design), not as advanced as Gpick, yet still useful and responsive. The core principle is: no tabs or other windows, few clicks, everything instantaneously accessible from the main window.
This is free and open source software.
Key Features
- Instant updates (moving one slider or modifying one field updates the other controls).
- Big colour rectangle showing your two current colours (called left and right).
- Up to four rows of 16 favorite colours at the top (number of rows and colours per rows is configurable with command-line options).
- RGB values (0 to 255).
- HSV values (0 to 359 for hue and 0 to 100 for saturation and value).
- Scrollable sliders and entries (hue slider wraps).
- Fine colour adjustment buttons (increase/decrease saturation and lightness) with adjustable increment value.
- CSS hex and RGB strings.
- Intelligent copy/paste (paste #rrggbb or rrggbb into the hex text box and decide if you want to prepend the # character when copying).
- Useful keyboard shortcuts.
