As a web developer I often have to find out the exact color that the designer gave me to implement. I always used to do that with opening the image in the Gimp and then using the color picker.

Now I find that OS X actually comes pre-installed with a tool for that: Digital Color Meter. It’s in your Utilities folder and allows you to find out the color of anything on the screen.

Thanks to Chregu for the tip.

Yeah, that was finally a topic to blog again. ;-) I have shifted priorities at the moment and blogging is not terribly high there. More updates to come on what’s the current priorities.
