System Color Picker
System Color Picker turns macOS's color panel into an accessible app for sampling and converting colors.
Pick it for grabbing interface colors and copying a useful design value.
Palettes, recent colors and keyboard shortcuts connect sampling with a developer or designer's daily work.
Keep in mind: The captured listing warns of a macOS 26 sampler bug. Color-space conversion can also change values; verify critical colors and note the version's requirements.
