You're right, I chose that because colorpicker was already taken as a bundle name (if/when I'll submit to the AppStore).

#4This is nice! I've been looking for a decent, lightweight colour picker since switching from Windows years ago, where I relied on the also excellent Pixie (http://www.nattyware.com/pixie.php)

#5For the life of me I can't understand why Apple decided to remove hex values from their color picker with Lion. This is a great alternative, the copy shortcut is very handy.

#6Hi guys, I'm the author of that app. You can choose which format you want to save by default (hex or rgb) as well as hiding the color preview in the menubar through the app preferences. Please let me know if you feel like something is missing.

#7Thank you! I can't even count the number of times when I needed something like this.

#8Great app. I only wish there was an option to exclude the # when copying, as then I could directly paste the color code into Photoshop.

#9So glad for this. I used to use Pipette on a regular basis, but it seems to be half-broken in Lion. This saves my day(s).
Would be nice to have a copy-this-color mode that didn't include the #, as Photoshop doesn't like hex colors longer than 6 characters, but that's more of a nit than a real complaint.

They didn't, because, AFAIK it wasn't there in the first place. You probably had some plugin installed -- http://wafflesoftware.net/hexpicker/ or http://www.panic.com/~wade/picker/. Also, some programs, like Acorn, loads their own hex color picker plugin inside the app.
