ColorMania

The first thing you need to know is that ColorMania is not meant for regular users. It is meant for designers, developers, programmers, graphic artists, and other professionals who work with color. If you fit the description and if you decide to get ColorMania, you will enjoy an advanced color picker utility for Windows. You will enjoy a tool that will help you select and modify colors.

The ColorMania installer is less than 1MB in size, and that is a good thing: it means that downloading the installer will take but a moment. Installing ColorMania won’t take long either; a setup wizard will help you quickly install the application. It must be mentioned here that ColorMania provides support for Windows XP, Vista, 7, and 8.

ColorMania has a compact, simple, easy to navigate interface. As a designer, developer, programmer, or graphic artist who regularly works with colors, you should not have any problems figuring out the interface. Getting accustomed to the interface and learning how to use ColorMania will not be a challenging task.

Multiple formats are supported by ColorMania: HTML color codes, Delphi hex, VB hex, C++ hex, RGB values, RGB% values, HSV values, CMY, CMYK, HLS, Photoshop.
One of the the application's features is to generate random colors and another one is the Grab Color feature that allows you to extract colors from whatever is displayed on your screen.

ColorMania is freeware. You can use the application for free for as long as you want.

ColorMania is lightweight, it has a compact interface, it supports multiple formats, it works as advertised, and it is free. I don’t see what’s not to like about this advanced color picker utility.
