Color Picker by Martin Chrzan is a lightweight Windows utility designed to identify and copy any on-screen color value in a single keystroke. Once invoked with its global hotkey, the magnified eyedropper lets users hover over pixels in applications, web pages, photographs or the operating-system interface itself, instantly displaying the exact shade in HEX, RGB, HSL, HSV, CMYK, XYZ, LAB, LCH, HWB, N-CLR and CIE-LUV notation. The live preview updates while the cursor moves, and a history panel stores the last fifteen selections so previously sampled tones can be reapplied without leaving the current project. Designers matching corporate palettes, developers theming user interfaces, data-visualization authors normalizing brand colors, and accessibility testers checking contrast ratios all benefit from the tool’s ability to place the chosen value directly on the clipboard in the desired format. Version 1.3.0 refines zoom accuracy and adds LAB output, continuing a sequence of fifteen public releases that have incrementally expanded format support, hotkey customization and multi-monitor awareness. Because the program runs as a portable executable with no background service, it consumes negligible resources and can be carried on removable media for instant deployment on any Windows 10 or 11 workstation. The software is available for free on get.nero.com, with downloads provided via trusted Windows package sources (e.g. winget), always delivering the latest version, and supporting batch installation of multiple applications.
