ColorRand - Advanced Color Picker

Community Community & Industry Discussion
1

Version
1.2.3

Here is a color picker I have written lately. It has some advanced features like picking any pixel from screen, 3-block demonstration, hsl support, alpha presentation, float conversion, luminance and interp calculation, argb hex, creating random colors based on rgb, hsl, hsv spaces, so on and so forth.
It is written with native C++/Qt combination which means the program opens and operates quite fast.

There are 64 bit Windows and Linux binaries available right now but 32 bit can be compiled if requested.
It can be also compiled for MacOS with zero percent code modification but since I do not have a Mac, you have to download the IDE and compile yourself. The source code is included anyway.

The software is free which has both meanings, free as a free lemonade and free as an open-source.

Not trying to bash your, or attack you or anything, I mean, it looks pretty good, but what’s the use of an external color picker program?
Artists, can usually tell the exact colors while working in their own tools (Photoshop, Substance painter, or other)

And since this is an external tool, it can’t be used inside a game either…
The only real use I personally see, would be aiding programmers with knowing what color value is what.

That all said, I do have to give praise where praise is due, it looks good, and it looks like you’ve put a lot of thought into the layout of things, maybe you, or some one else, can manage to port this code to work inside unreal engine itself, since it would be rather powerful for in-game customizes!
