Kolorz

Native Mac color picker — pick from anywhere, copy HEX, RGB, and HSL, with menu bar access and recent color history.

What It Does

Kolorz is the simplest way to pick a color on macOS and copy it in the format you actually need. It uses Apple’s built-in color picker — the same one you already know from Pages, Keynote, and Preview — and adds the things it has always been missing: every color value ready to copy, a global eyedropper shortcut, recent color history, and menu bar access.

Output Formats

Format	Example
HEX	`#FF6B35`
RGB	`rgb(255, 107, 53)`
HSL	`hsl(16, 100%, 60%)`

Menu Bar Access

Always One Click Away — The menu bar icon gives you instant access to the eyedropper, current color, and recent history from any app.
Pick Color Button — Launch the system eyedropper directly from the popover.
Quick Actions — Open the full color panel, clear history, or access settings from the overflow menu.

Pick from Anywhere

Global Shortcut — Press ⌥⌘C from any app to launch the eyedropper. No need to switch to Kolorz first. The shortcut is fully customizable in Settings.
Eyedropper — Click any pixel on screen with the system magnifier loupe.
Color Wheel, Sliders, Palettes — Every native macOS picking tool, in one window.
Image Samplers — Pull palettes from any image you drop in.

Recent Colors

Automatic History — Every color you sample is saved to a persistent history of your last 24 colors.
One-Click Recall — Click any recent swatch to set it as the current color.
Drag to Swatches — Drag any recent color directly into the color panel’s swatch grid to save it permanently.

Copy

One-Click Copy — Click the copy icon on any row to put that format on your clipboard.
Drag & Drop — Drag recent colors straight into Sketch, Figma, Xcode, or any app that accepts color drops.

Paste to Convert

Bidirectional Conversion — Paste any color value into any row and press Return. Kolorz parses it, applies it to the picker, and updates every other format.
Modern CSS Syntax — Accepts both legacy comma-separated (rgb(255, 107, 53)) and modern space-separated (rgb(255 107 53)) CSS syntax.
Round-Trip Accurate — Works with HEX (including 3-character shorthand like #FFF), RGB, and HSL. No precision loss.

Settings

Stay on Top — Keep the color panel floating above every other app. Persistent between launches.
Launch at Login — Start Kolorz automatically when you log in.
Custom Shortcut — Remap the global eyedropper shortcut to any key combination you prefer.

Keyboard Shortcuts

⌥⌘C — Pick Color (global — works from any app, customizable)
⇧⌘P — Pick Color (in-app)
⌘1 — Copy HEX
⌘2 — Copy RGB
⌘3 — Copy HSL

Clear Swatches

To reset the color panel’s swatch grid, choose Color › Clear Swatches… from the menu bar. Kolorz will quit and clear the saved swatches. Relaunch from the Dock or Applications folder to start fresh.
