Drop - Color Picker 1.0.2 MacOSX 4 MB Pick a color and it will be copied in your preferred format.

OS X on the Mac introduced an amazingly powerful Color Picker, and it's only improved since then.

This tutorial has been updated to show the Color Picker in Mac OS 10.5.7; but if you are using a different version, I'm sure that you'll be able to figure out where things are in yours.

Since it's the default System Color picker in most applications, like Mail or TextEdit, it's what pops up when you call for a different color.

For some, like Adobe® Photoshop®, you have to specify that you want to use the System Color Picker in the Prefs for the program.

Others have some kind of key combination that lets you access it.

Still, there are some people who have a hard time getting it to show up at all. If you are one of those, there's help for you in the form of a little app that will just open the picker at the end of the tutorial.

All in all, this color picker is a very slick and extraordinarily useful tool; but it seems a lot of people don't really know how to use it, because there's not any documentation to speak of. Which is a shame, since in my opinion it's fantastic. So, here you go!

Across the top, as everyone knows, are a series of icons.

The first one opens a Color Wheel pane that allows you to pick the hue and saturation from the wheel, and the value from a slider on the side. This is pretty standard stuff, and a lot like the pickers you can find other places.

The second opens the Sliders pane of the picker, where you will find sliders for all the normal color picking schemes; Gray Scale, RGB, CYMK, and HSB. Very useful, but, once again, no big whoop. This is in most Pickers.

(There is a very useful icon at the left side of this pane, that lets you choose your Color Space; you can read more about it in the section on the Magnifying Glass, below.)

The next one, though, starts to get into the really handy properties of the Mac picker. This is the Palette picker. There are several canned Palette Lists included with the OS, including Web Safe Colors, which is nice.

But the real beauty of the thing is that you can make your own Palette Lists! Need a consistent set of colors for your design team? Make 'em here, distribute them to everyone, and they'll all have them right in their Picker, with no mistakes. Found the perfect color for Gold, and want to have it available in all your 3D programs? Put it in a palette here, and open it everywhere. There are myriad possibilities, as I'm sure you can see.

To get detailed instructions about how to make and work with your own Palette Lists, check the topics in the Accordion below.

To start your own Palette, choose New from the Tools button just to the right of the list name. (It has an image of a cogwheel, and an arrow on it, to show that it's a drop down menu that has Tools behind it.)

A new palette will be opened, containing only the color currently in the large swatch at the top of the window. By default, they will both be called 'Untitled,' with a number. For instance 'Untitled 1' for the list, and 'Untitled 1 1' for the color.

You can name your Palette by clicking on the Tools button again, and choosing Rename.. A window will open; just type the name you want into the text field.

Add colors by getting a color using any method, so that your color shows in the large swatch at the top of the panel.

Then click the + (plus) button below the list of colors in your palette.

The new color will appear in the list, with the list name followed by a number.

You can also just drag colors from the small swatch area, in the bottom of the panel, into the Palette. They, too, will be given the default name (Palette and number.) There is more about those swatches later in the tutorial.

You can give the color whatever name you want by simply double clicking on the name in the Palette, and typing into the field.

Clicking once on the name selects it, and replaces the large swatch at the top with that color.

Clicking on the name of a selected swatch makes the name field editable.

Once you have a Palette, you can easily find colors in it by typing part of the name into the Search field below the Palette window.

As you type, the list will change to show only the colors with those letters in the name. When you see the one you want, stop typing, and choose it!

This isn't important when you have a small Palette, where you can scroll through the colors in a moment. But with longer Palettes, it becomes a real time-saver.

If you need to find the closest match in the list to a color you have somewhere else, just choose that color, using whatever method you want. (The Magnifying Glass, mentioned below, is great for this!)

Then, simply open the desired Palette, and it will automatically take you to the closest match.

So, you can pick a shade of teal from an image, go to the Web Safe Colors Palette, and it will open to show you that 66CCCC is the closest web safe match. Click on that swatch, and you have the Web Safe closest equivalent to use in your work.

To remove a color, just click on it to select it, and then click the - (minus) button, at the bottom of the Palette.

The color will vanish, and the next color in the list will be selected, filling the large swatch at the top.

If the color you removed was the final color, then the next color up, which is the new final color, will be selected instead.

Be careful, though, because this cannot be undone, and your color will instantly be gone.

This is one of the reasons that I recommend that you make a backup of your color lists. (There are instructions for backing up at the bottom of this Accordion.) You might also want to pull a copy of the color into one of the small swatches (see below) before you delete it. Just in case.

To remove an entire Palette List, choose Remove from the Tool button to the right of the Palette name.

You'll get one of the 'Are you sure?' dialogs, that will ask if you really want to remove the whole color list.

Click Yes, and the Palette, and all its colors, will instantly vanish from the list, and also from the Library folder where it's stored (see below.) This cannot be undone, so be careful when you choose this command. (Backups are always good to have. Just saying.)

In addition to making your own Palettes from scratch, you can also open palettes that you get from other people, o
