What is the best color picker tool in your heart when selecting the colors to be used in your web design?

I vote for Visual Color Picker (freeware).

Visual Color Picker is very easy to use and powerful RGB-HSV-HSL-CMYK-HEX color selector. The program allows you to easily capture color value from any position of the screen even if program does not have input focus. The program has small screen capture preview area. By clicking associated button, you will get the associated RGB value in the dialog. The RGB color is automatically translated to RGB, HSV, CMYK and HTML HEX values. The program has standard and custom color tables. Text-background preview allows you to see how two colors will look next to each. Visual Color Picker operates under Microsoft Windows 95/98/Me/ NT4.0/2000/XP/2003. Visual Color Picker has settings. You can specify custom formatting and assign hot key for it.

FEATURES

* Supported color models: RGB, HSV(HSL), CMYK, HEX(HTML).
* Basic and custom color tables.
* Instant RGB-HSV-CMYK-HEX color conversion.
* Screen area color capture.
* Textual color formatting: unlimited text representation of color (VC++,VB,Delphi,etc).
* Several color preview samples: gradient, text.

Seems to be a very feature packed color picker ... I have used a few and settled on only one ..... the simplest one. It has just one very small window floating on top of your desktop .... you just pick the color at the bottom of your mouse pointer by pressing Ctrl + Alt + C ... that's all it does haha

Love the simplicity .... I think it has to be the smallest and fastest around.... installer is about 80kb and the actual installed exe is 30kb ..... it's called Pixie

this is not suitable for CMYK designers right?

For the web designer...

I recommend Color Pix... and if you have the money, buy Color Schemer.

Google for both of em.

I use ColorCop

it's free and quite popular. lightweight too.

i don't need fancy color selector (i mean to find my own rgb value) because if i need to find my own color, well i seldom use my own color coz it will be quite an ugly one... LOL.

i use Kuler from Adobe's Apollo project to find nice color set.
kuler

so for a color picker, colorcop would do the job sufficiently (only to spy the rgb value of other people's color choice).

hope it helps.
