What is Minimal Color Picker?

A tiny, blazing-fast, and distraction-free color picker for Windows, written in pure C (Win32 API). Designed to be as lightweight and performant as possible while providing essential features for developers and designers.

Zero-Bloat Performance: Built purely with the Win32 API and GDI. Extremely low CPU and RAM footprint.

Instant Activation: Summon instantly via a global system hotkey without interrupting your workflow.

Magnifying Loupe: A smooth 6x zoom loupe attached to your cursor for precise, pixel-perfect selection.

Color Averaging: Grab exactly what you need. Supports 1x1 (single pixel), 3x3, 5x5, and 15x15 pixel averaging modes.

Clipboard Ready: Instantly copies the selected color to your clipboard in standard Hex format (e.g., #1A2B3C).

Non-Intrusive UI: A "Copied" toast notification right at your cursor that instantly fades away.

System Tray Integration: Runs quietly in the background. Right-click the tray icon to change settings or exit.

High-DPI Aware: Renders sharply and maps pixels perfectly on modern 4K/High-DPI displays.

Portable Configuration: Settings are saved automatically to a simple .ini file in the exact same folder as the executable.
