Hello everyone,

I've been missing powertoys color picker when i switched to Linux, i have taken a look at the popular color pickers, some didn't work on Wayland, other lacked features powertoys had, so i made one and I'm here to share it

You can pick any pixel with a 10× magnifier (live on X11, freeze-frame on Wayland)

A color card showing your first format on the color itself, with its name

You can search colors by name, word, or code ( Ctrl+F ) it'll even work with a typo ( it's smart-ish search )

9 formats (HEX, RGB, HSL, HSV, CMYK, HSLA, OKLCH, OKLab, HWB), reorderable

Global hotkey, auto-copy on pick, works completely offline, MIT Packages: Fedora , Arch AUR , .deb and an AppImage.

Made with Rust and Slint.
