  • This is a plugin for the standard color picker. Unfortunately, it does not work for me. For some reason the hex picker returns wrong hex values. E.g. a full red image (#ff000000) created in photoshop, is evaluated as #f70016. See a screenshot here: o7.no/1mQpv4Z

    Those differences are due to your display color profile. Nothing to do with the app. The photoshop color is just converted through your display colorprofile into a value that is shown on the screen. If you pick it you get the converted color.

Go to the Palette Tab.

Change the selection to 'Web Safe Colors'

This will give you:

Update :

I made a quick app so I could create a custom HEX picker palette using the colours found at http://www.w3schools.com's html_colornames

UPDATE: I found a list at : http://www.colourlovers.com ultimate-html-color-hex-code-list I Combined the two lists : The process I use automaticlly removes repeats. The Palette now holds about 1520 HEX Colors.

You can down load the .clr file here.

Place the file inside of you home Colors folder: ~/Library/Colors/

Some apps may need to be relaunched before their colour picker picks it up. The New Picker can be found in the Palettes drop down menu.

If I get time I will also put on my blog the App. But I would need to change it a bit so it can be used to add any set of HEX codes. Or if any one knows where the is the ultimate HEX code list. I will try and convert that.

    The standard Web Safe Colours seemed to be fixed

  • Much better than the accepted answer, that app seems to be abandoned...
