What's in a pixel? Pixie can show you.

Pixie displays the color under your mouse pointer in various formats. Very useful for web developers.

Impressions

Pixie is one of those micro-tools you just add to your toolbox only to have it at your fingertips when you need it. It is extremely small in both file size and screen space footprint and focuses on only one thing: to show you the current color under your mouse cursor as conveniently as possible. There is a build-in magnifier window that you can activate as needed to aid you in tracking down that elusive pixel. You can also start the color picker dialog box to pick any color you might envision. Beyond these simple features and copying the current color into the clipboard this there isn’t much else Pixie can do.

Price

Free.

Conclusion

Other tools do the same job but none do it with more elegance than Pixie, 4 stars!
