ColorSnag
A downloadable tool for Windows
Grab colors from anywhere on your screen. Sample multiple colors at once. Pick from a color wheel when you need something specific.
How it works
Hold F9, a magnifying glass follows your cursor, showing pixels at zoom level. Click to sample — colors stack along the edge of your screen with hex codes visible. Sample as many as you need, then release F9. Your palette stays put.
Click any swatch to copy its hex. Right-click to dismiss it. Press F9 again to clear and start fresh.
