grabc
Identify color of a pixel on an X Window
(For Linux/Unix)
Muhammad A Muquit
grabc is s simple but very useful program to determine the color string in hex (or in RGB components) by clicking on a pixel on the screen. While web browsing, lots of time you find a nice color and wonder what color is that! Well just use grabc!

When this program is run, the mouse pointer is grabbed and changed to a cross hair and when the mouse is clicked, the color of the clicked pixel is written to stdout in hex prefixed with #. The R, G, B component of the color are also printed to stderr. Here's a sample example,

  $ grabc
  (mouse ponter turns into a cross hair and you click on something)
  #b2c0dd
  

For the latest version, please visit: grabc github page

If you use this program please let me know
