Great find: Hex Color Picker

Talk about a great find. This weekend I was looking for a good OS X Color Picker plug-in that produces Hex values (necessary to define colors for XHTML). A quick search through MacUpdate yielded the result of Hex Color Picker from Lucky Software. The tool does exactly what I need it to, however, it hasn’t been updated since 2004, and isn’t a Universal Binary. Just about that time I was reading Daring Fireball by John Gruber, and he posted a link to a new Hex Color Picker (same name), from a different developer, Waffle Software. Oh, and this one is a Universal Binary and donation ware. Additionally, it is available under the BSD license with source code freely downloadable. If you are doing web development on an Intel Mac, you need this tool.
