Handy Color Picker for Windows: ColorCop
I needed a utility that would let me grab hex colors from any pixel on my monitor. I had one a long time ago, but had forgotten the name of it.
Color Cop did the trick perfectly. It can live in your system tray, and has a magnifier to make it easier to see which pixel to grab the color from. It copies the hex straight to your clipboard, so you can paste it into your Flash color picker or HTML. It also does averaging, which is handy when you're trying to grab a color from a JPEG which can have slight pixel-to-pixel color variations, depending on the compression.
It's free, and doesn't seem to be spyware of any kind.
What's your favorite color picker utility?
