DigitalColor Meter with hex codes?

I'm just wondering if anyone has found a way to get hex codes back in DigitalColor Meter or knows of a suitable replacement for the 10.7 version that removed hex codes?


I use DCM almost daily for hex codes and am completely baffeled as to why this was removed from the 10.7 version.


Any help would be greatly appreciated.

MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.7)

Hello, *what is this?*



Jav, NOT a picker, but a selector. This is not that, what Apple Users need - this (a selector) they have in every good application. What should I do with a selector when I need a picker to get values about a particular color anywhere on the screen? Sorry, Jav, no better message. Spent downloading minipicker to much time and money to the telefonist company, sorry.


I am really as mad as a hornet of that thing what Apple did with the digital color picker. Waiting for repair on the next update.

hey, guys,


i've been using quite often the DCM and i was a bit shocked to see it's not working anymore. so i've turned to xScope which among other things also has a color picker (same hotkey as DCM actually).


but then i found something in DCM... 🙂


launch DCM then go to the View menu > Display values and choose hex. and it should be back the way it was.

didn't read to careful through these threads so sorry if someone else posted this already.
