A screen color picker for Windows. Grab any pixel's exact colour in a click.
You need the exact colour of something on your screen: a button in a design, a brand colour on a website, a shade in a photo. Guessing it or screenshotting and sampling in another app is slow. QuipShot's colour picker reads the pixel under your cursor directly.
What the colour picker does for you
Sample any colour anywhere on your screen and copy its value, without leaving your work or opening a separate tool.
Pinpoint any pixel on your screen and grab its exact colour in a single click.
A magnifier zooms in so you land on the precise pixel you meant, even on dense, high-DPI screens.
Works across every monitor in your setup, at any DPI, reading the true colour QuipShot already gets right.
It's its own capture-overlay mode, separate from taking a screenshot, so it's there the moment you need a colour.

Why QuipShot's colour picker is precise
Because QuipShot already captures true colour from HDR and high-DPI displays, the colour it samples is the colour that's actually on screen, not a washed-out approximation. The magnifier makes pixel-exact picking easy on dense displays, and it reads across every monitor in your setup. It's a native tool, so it opens instantly when inspiration or a bug report can't wait.
