Windows – How to copy the hex color code of whatever pixel the mouse is hovering over

colorsmousewindows

I am looking for some powertoy or shortcut or software that will allow me to quickly copy the hex color code (I.e. #ff0000) from whatever I currently have my mouse over on the screen. does this exist? if so, where do I get it?

I am a web developer and I'm getting tired of having to do a printscreen and then grabbing the color code from photoshop every time. so basically I need an eyedropper for Windows that copies the color code to the clipboard.

Looks like this should do what you need.

Simply pick up the app's icon from your system tray, drag it toward the color you want to find, and a magnified, pixel-by-pixel view lets you pinpoint exactly what shade you're looking for. The color code—HTML, RGB, or whatever you prefer to set in the options—is instantly copied to your clipboard for easy pasting in any editing tool.
