Color Buddy 1.5
HTML colour picker

Are you a hard-core web-developer? Do you like to code your HTML by hand in a text editor? Do you hate switching to to your image-editor just to figure out a hexadecimal RGB code? If you answered yes to any or all of these questions, then Color Buddy is for you! Color Buddy is a tiny utility that elegantly fills the gap in the software market for HTML developers looking for a simple color-picker. Who wants to open PhotoShop when all you need to do is select a color for the text on your website? Unfortunately, most of us don't think in hexadecimal values, and PhotoShop takes a few seconds to load, even on my Macintosh G4, and consumes a lot of memory. Besides, if you just need a color picker, why should you have to launch an image-editor? Color Buddy gives you a simple color-picker window in which you can choose a color by base-10 numeric RGB values, or a string of hexadecimal values. The color swatch updates on-the-fly as you type, and you can copy and paste the hexadecimal string into your HTML code. Best of all, by clicking the color swatch itself, you have instant access to all your familiar color-pickers!
