My Question:

[Low profile On-Screen Color Grabber? [closed]][1]

I'm looking for a program that will allow me to grab colors from on screen, something that won't bother me or effect performance if it's running constantly in the background.

What this is for: is replacing my need to take a screenshot, put it in photoshop, and grab the hex color that way. I do this about 10 times a day, every day due to the nature of my work.

I know there is a solution out there for me, but I'm not able to find anything even remotely similar to what I'm wanting.

How exactly is this off-topic? Thankfully I was allowed to choose a best answer and get a good answer before this was closed. [1]: http://superuser.com/questions/486988/low-profile-on-screen-color-grabber
