It's a little clunkier than I would like but this no-install colour
mixer is good.

Naturally, before opening up Agent I've searched for and tested
dozens. This is just the best I came up with so far to do what I
need.

Colour picker? No.

I work a lot in Paint Shop Pro. When looking for a colour, can't
afford to play around with the settings in the built-in colour mixer
as often the two colours there, foreground and background, are being
used. But I need to look ahead for new colours.

With Palette, I can do that.

What I don't like:
To get to the customs colour palette I have to click first to the
general windows standard palette from the main interface _then_ click
to the custom colour one. I saw in larger, install types that a
custom colour palette was built-in right on the main interface. But
there was the problem with those that they have no copy-to-clipboard
button and they were large apps that needed installing.

What I do like:
1) no install
2) small
3) copy-to-clipboard feature

So in case others can use this, find Palette v1.0 here:

Cheers!

Great, thanks . . . FYI, these two RGB -> HEX tools are great:

ColorPic
An application for picking colors from your screen display. It magnifies
the immediate area surrounding your mouse and provides the hex color codes
for the color you are presently hovering over.
http://www.iconico.com/colorpic/

Color Set
Picking colors from the palette produces HEX and RGB information. It also
displays a a small "table" that allows you to select colors for foreground,
background, border etc. so you can preview how your color scheme looks.

ColorPic requires no install. Color Set, on the other hand, is contained
in a simple installer program.

Perhaps another choice... ColorMania V2.0
Really nice freeware program by same author as XFonter.

The difference is that this one is a colour mixer as well. I do a lot
of work in Paint Shop Pro and needed an easy way to get the codes for
colours just by clicking on the colour in a pallette. This app allows
me to do that even though it is a bit cumbersome. (To get to the
larger custom pallette, have to click through to it; it's not
available right on the main interface. That's its most serious flaw.)
