In depth
A closer look at WhatColor
There are an abundance of colors and tints, which makes it close to impossible to know names by heart, let alone corresponding codes to use in programming. Chances are you’re really interested in a particular tint and want to use it, but don’t really know how to get it. Luckily, there are various specialized applications like WhatColor The application can be launched right after setup is over. A pretty compact window shows up on the desktop. There are several view modes to use, such as the default one, a full view, or compact mode which only displays small preview, code, and name of the color under the mouse. In terms of output, the application is capable of instantly showing the HEX code of the color, but also decimal, HSV and HLS. However, it can even help you remember the color because it also shows the name, with an impressive database. Some particular tints like gray can show up with percentage value, which can be of great help.
