Любой веб-дизайнер трудящийся на Маке не раз сталкивался с проблемой получения цвета напрямую с экрана или из окна браузера. Существует множество способов это сделать, например панель Web Developer в Safari или целая армия всеразличных «экранных линеек» от сторонних разработчиков.
Проще всего эту задачу решает самое обыкновенное окно выбора цвета, которое есть на маке изначально.
Что есть изначально?
Колор пикер умеет брать цвет экрана, достаточно нажать на кнопку с изображением лупы в левом верхнем углу каждого таба. Он позволяет удобно выбирать цвета, поддерживает CMYK, RGB и HSB и т.п. Вобщем, функционал вполне достаточный.
Не хватает только hex значений. Для этого надобно установить плагин. Их существует довольно-таки много, но методом проб и ошибок я выбрал один, наиболее удобный именно для веб-дизайна: Hex Color Picker от Waffle Software. Во-первых, он бесплатен и во-вторых его интерфейс был самым наглядным и понятным, что важно при быстрой работе с окнами.
Вот какие еще плагины для Color Picker"а мне удалось найти:
Old Jewel Software - Painter"s Picker (платный, $20)
Chromatic Bytes - Shades (платный, $18)
Lithoglyph - Mondrianum 2 (бесплатный, интегрируется с Adobe kuler)
Tangerine (аж $40 хотят)
Developer Color Picker (бесплатный, судя по адресу сайта от создателей Transmit и Coda)
Установка плагина для Color Picker
Скачать Hex Color Picker можно .Плагин для Color Picker, представляет из себя бандл с расширением .colorpicker
. Все плагины сосредоточены в укромном месте в директории пользователя:
~/Library/ColorPickers/
Достаточно распаковать скачанный архив и затащить файл HexColorPicker.colorPicker туда. После этого перезапускаем открытые приложения, пробуем выбрать цвет и видим еще одну вкладку в окне выбора цвета. Теперь hex"совое значение будет доступно в любой аппликации.
По началу я столкнулся c некоторыми проблемами - схваченные с экрана цвета не соответствовали, тем что были заданы в CSS. Решение было простым и нашлось в настройках плагина.
Оказалось, что нужно отключить получение калиброванных цветов.
LittlePicker для хабрачеловека
Нарадовавшись удобству нового цветохватателя, обнаружил, что еще одна проблема не решена: как же быстро получить доступ к панели цветов? Держать для этого постоянно открытый TextEdit как-то не удобно. Поискал в Сети - подходящего решения не нашел. И, как обычно, на экране запрыгал значок XCode - стал писать свое.Назвал просто - LittlePicker .
Чтобы счастье было полным, color picker можно вызывать по горячей клавише F6. Я добавил его в Startup Items и теперь цвет любой точки экрана доступен сразу же после загрузки Мака. Работает на Mac OS X 10.5 и выше.
Мне существующего функционала пока хватает. Но, если у хабрасообщества есть идеи/предложения что добавить или изменить в LittlePicker, с удовольствием их реализую.
Что дальше?
Для любознательных есть потрясающий подробный мануал на английском языке - The Macintosh OS X Color Picker от Робина Гуда Робина Вуда. Расписано буквально все.UPD: В комментариях высказались в пользу еще одного способа забора цвета с экрана существующего Mac OS X. Приложение называется DigitalColor Meter.

Use the color picker by clicking and dragging your cursor inside the picker area to highlight a color on the right. Input Hex, RGB, HSL or CMYK values to search for a particular color in the fields below the color swatch; click the swatch to add it to your palette. After selecting a color, experiment with different harmonies by using the dropdown below the color picker.
Color Harmonies
Color harmonies are particularly pleasing combinations of two or more colors derived from their relationship on a color wheel. Also known as color chords, color harmonies are useful when exploring a possible color palette, or can be used as a standalone color scheme.
Complementary colors
Colors that are directly opposite one another on the color wheel are known as complementary colors. Complementary colors have a high contrast and can be very effective as accent colors when paired with a more neutral palette.
Triadic colors
Triadic harmonies consist of three colors equidistant from one another on the color wheel. Like complementary colors, triadic schemes tend to be very bright with a high contrast and work best when one color dominates.
Tetradic colors
Tetradic color harmonies are formed by two sets of complementary colors 60 degrees apart on the color wheel. Tetradic schemes are an excellent starting point for creating color palettes; fine tune them using color shades, tints and tones.
Analogous colors
Analogous harmonies are created by selecting the colors directly adjacent to a chosen color. Frequently found in web design, analogous schemes, when paired with a complementary color for contrast, can offer great versatility.
Neutral colors
Neutral schemes, like analogous harmonies, are formed by taking the colors on either side of a chosen color but at half the distance. While analogous schemes typically use colors 30 degrees apart, neutral harmonies use colors 15 degrees apart.
Color Shades, Tints and Tones
Color shades, tints and tones are created by adding black, white and gray respectively to a chosen color. They can be very useful in web design for backgrounds and typography, and are often paired with a complementary color for contrast. Try them with your own color using the dropdown menu below the color picker.
Color shades
Adding black in varying levels to a color produces gradually darker variants, or "shades", of that particular color. Shades work well for link hover effects, or as footer and header backgrounds.
Color tints
Color tints are made by adding white to a color, resulting in increasingly lighter versions. Tints can also be used for CSS hover effects, and perform nicely as modal backgrounds.
Color tones
Tones are created by adding gray to a color, and produces an almost endless variety of colors depending on what level of gray is used. Less common in web design, tones could be useful for typographic elements like comments, quotes or highlights.
