teenycolor uses macOS native NSColorSampler to give you a pixel-perfect magnifying loupe. Click anywhere on any screen to grab the exact color under your cursor. The value is copied to your clipboard instantly and a floating HUD confirms the copy.
teenycolor saves your picked colors automatically. Each entry shows a color swatch, the formatted value, and a relative timestamp. History persists between launches and the limit is configurable (20, 50, or 100). Pin your favorites so they stay at the top forever.
For every color you pick, teenycolor calculates the WCAG 2.1 contrast ratio against both white and black backgrounds. Color-coded badges show AAA, AA, AA Large, or Fail instantly. No need to open a separate accessibility tool.
No dock icon, no main window. Always one click or global hotkey away. Optionally show a colored dot for your last picked color.
Everything you need to pick, copy, and organize colors on your Mac.
