5. ColorPick Eyedropper

An eye-dropper & color-picker tool that allows you to select color values from webpages.
If you feel the need to alert the developer about a bug use the feedback forum instead of writing a review.

If you are having problems with accuracy use the arrow keys, and enter to pick colors once you get the mouse in the approximate location.

Please note that colors are picked from a snapshot of the page that is updated only when you scroll. To take a new snapshot press r or use the re-snap button. Sometimes if you just changed tabs, you may see a snapshot error - this is an intentional security feature. Press R or scroll to correct this, or exit color pick and try again.
