Useful colour picker utility

Often when working on your latest Windows or web app you'll come across a situation that involves identifying the colour of a button, icon or some other control in your application.  This process often involves taking a screen shot of your app, loading it in to Photoshop and using the eye dropper tool to identify your colour.  This is long winded and frankly boring.

We've made this process much easier using a neat little .Net system tray application we've created.  The app runs in your system tray, you click and hold your mouse on its icon, drag over the top of the colour you wish to grab, and then let go to copy the hexadecimal code of your selected colour to your clipboard.  It couldn't be easier.
