hyprpicker

A wlroots-compatible Wayland color picker that does not suck.

Usage

Launch it. Click. That's it.

Options

-f | --format=[fmt] specifies the output format (cmyk, hex, rgb, hsl, hsv)

-n | --no-fancy disables the "fancy" (aka. colored) outputting

-h | --help prints a help message

-a | --autocopy automatically copies the output to the clipboard (requires wl-clipboard)

-r | --render-inactive render (freeze) inactive displays too

-z | --no-zoom disable the zoom lens

Caveats

"Freezes" your displays when picking the color.
