Free Tool: Color Selector

Whenever I'm working on a color scheme, I often start with an image or photo to use as a basis. I will then go and suck out some of the colors I like. For the longest time I had been using a freeware tool to grab the color under the cursor, but the blasted tool had a bug which would cause it's window to blank out, and otherwise cease to function correctly.

Having finally reached my limit of patience this weekend, I went and wrote my own version of it:

Basically it shows whatever color is underneath the cursor. Pressing Alt-C will copy the RGB value onto the clipboard allowing you to paste it into your CSS file (or wherever you need the color value).
