Many programs use RGB color hex codes. Colour Picker from Microsoft Live Labs makes it easy for you to use the colors you use most across all applications. It’s fun to explore, discover, and save new color combinations. Even if you don’t use it in your applications, it looks nice as a decoration on the sidebar. This gadget incorporates the API from colourlovers.com, a resource that monitors and influences color trends. Developed by Jeff Weir, a UX designer at Microsoft’s Live Labs, the Colour Picker Gadget is a tool for content designers, developers, amateur designers and photography enthusiasts that allows them to quickly access and save various colors (the RGB hex code is shown for each) and palettes
