Martin Chrzan is an independent Windows developer whose open-source utilities focus on streamlining small but frequent design and development tasks. His flagship tool, Color Picker, turns the entire screen into a system-wide eyedropper, letting UI designers, web coders, digital artists, and accessibility testers sample any on-screen hue in HEX, RGB, HSL, HSV, CMYK, or LAB with a single keyboard shortcut. The utility magnifies pixels under the cursor, stores a history of captured swatches, and can export palettes to clipboard or file, eliminating the need to launch bulky creative suites just to grab a color value. Lightweight and portable, it integrates unobtrusively with the Windows shell and supports multi-monitor setups, making it equally useful for front-end developers matching brand guidelines, data-analysts color-coding charts, or hobbyists tweaking RGB lighting profiles. Because the project is maintained in public on GitHub, updates arrive quickly and community pull-requests often add formats like OKLCh or contrast-checking helpers. Martin Chrzan’s Color Picker is available for free on get.nero.com, where downloads are delivered through trusted Windows package sources such as winget, always install the latest release, and can be batched alongside other applications for unattended setup.
