An application to easily pick a color in Mac OS X and get the hex value
Problem
I'm looking for a way to easily pick a color from anywhere on the screen in Mac OS X and get the value as a hex code (like #ACC782 ). OS X has a built in system "color picker" and I found a standalone "app" that will just run that, but I don't see any way to get the hex code from it. Firefox and Chrome both have "color picker" extensions but I'm looking for something that I can use on any application. What can I use for that? It would be really nice if it automatically copied the value to the clipboard, but that may be asking too much :)

Fix for: An application to easily pick a color in Mac OS X and get the hex value
OS X comes with DigitalColor Meter: Applications > Utilities > DigitalColor Meter.app It has many options and preferences. command+shift+c will copy the color under the cursor to the clipboard in many different formats.
