This is a nice program if your in need of a certain color (on screen) in RGB or hexadecimal values.

The program is called DigitalColor Meter and is part of your Mac OS X. It is able to display the color value in several different formats including 8-bit RGB and hexadecimal.

A useful key combo is Shift-Command-C, which copies the color value as text for you to paste in your CSS for example.

If you are using Mac OS X you can find it in the /Applications/Utilities.

Windows users can download the program Instant Eyedropper, which has similar functions. It's an older program and might not work on anything newer then XP.
