Find the color value of any color on your screen.
In the Digital Color Meter app on your Mac, do any of the following:
Digital Color Meter is a utility for measuring and displaying the color values of pixels displayed on the screen of a Macintosh computer. The utility presents a 'window' onto the screen which includes a cursor which by default is 1 × 1 pixel in size. The Digital Color Meter is a built-in color dropper tool on your Mac. It’s super handy for both web designers and web developers. Here’s a step by step guide on how to get started using Apple’s Digital Color Meter.
Find the value of a color: Move the pointer over the pixels whose values you want to see. The color under the pointer is displayed in the Digital Color Meter window, with its color values on the right.
To change the format of the displayed color values for RGB-based color spaces, choose View > Display Values.
Adjust the size of the aperture: Drag the Aperture Size slider. Make the aperture smaller to select a small area or a single pixel. If more than one pixel is within the aperture, the color values of all pixels are averaged.
Choose a different color space: Click the pop-up menu, then choose a color space. The values shown are specific to the color space you choose.
Lock the aperture’s location: Do one of the following:
Lock the aperture horizontally: Press Command-X.
Lock the aperture vertically: Press Command-Y.
Lock the aperture in both directions: Press Command-L.
Locking the aperture makes it easier to copy the pixel’s color value. When the aperture is locked both horizontally and vertically, it doesn’t move as you move the pointer.
Copy the color value: Do one of the following:
Copy the color value as text: Choose Color > Copy Color as Text, or press Shift-Command-C.
Copy the color value as an image: Choose Color > Copy Color as Image, or press Option-Command-C.
SC70his instrument is researched and developed in accord-ance with CIE (International Commission on Illumination) and CNS (China National Standards). It is a high precise colorimeter with simple user interface and stable performance. It can be powered by both Li-ion battery and external DC power supply.
