How Does ColorPic Help Web Designers?

Web Designers often run across colors they would like to use on a website or template they are designing. Sometimes it is quite difficult to get the code for the color. Unless you have a tool that will grab the code for you, it is near impossible to get the code. You can try to match the color as close as you can, but rarely will it turn out to be the same color. So, the ColorPic tool will let web designers grab the code for any color they want. Then they can paste the code in the graphics program they use. One click and you have your color code.
