Peacock Color Picker

[ha14]

Hi

Designed mainly for programs, web designers and graphic designers Peacock Color Picker supports extensive features such as Zoom, Picture Loading, Capture Saving, Pallets, Movie Capture and many others.

Basically Peacock Color Picker allows you to choose any color from the 16,581,375 colors available on your computer screen, and thanks to the built-in zooming feature you can pin-point the exact colors that you want.

This means that if you would like to create a logo for your company, using the soft blue color available on the Windows XP tray bar, all you have to do is simply launch Peacock Color Picker and it will give you the exact color number to input in your favorite graphic editing software such as Adobe Photoshop. (This Is The Exact Color).

Peacock Color Picker is one of those apps: a complete color picking tool with which you can select any color on your screen and obtain the correspondent code in several different programming languages and systems: Delphi, HTML, Java, RGB, Visual Basic and more. The program works in a slightly different way from other similar tools: instead of selecting the color right on your screen by means of a special cursor, Peacock Color Picker captures a given area of the screen and selects the color only from this area. I personally prefer the first method, which is easier and faster. Also, the capturing tool doesn't show capturing boundaries too clearly, so you don't really know what you're going to get.

The program also enables you to open a given photo and select colors from it, although the image is displayed in such a small window that you can't really work with it. Plus, it features the possibility to build several different color palettes, but unfortunately you can't add screen colors to them (only Windows palette ones).

Peacock Color Picker supports the following color code values:
* HTML Format Color Values (#0D8DEA)
* Borland Delphi Color Values ($00EA8D0D)
* Java Color Values (0xD0D8AE)
* Microsoft C++ Color Values (0x00EA8D0D)

I have been observing from a very long time, the 'Freebies' category is getting flooded with software details. It is not bad to put them under freebies, but to everyone i would advice to limit the topics to different categories, like this thread should go under 'Graphics and design' section. It would very kind of everyone if we start using the categories 'latest releases', 'general' and 'graphics and design' again as we did before the introduction of 'freebies'. Please limit the use of 'freebies' section only for giveaways, promotional offers, and other related offers.
