A sleek, wlroots-native color picker for Wayland built for Hyprland with a focus on speed, accuracy, and simplicity.
Hyprpicker is a blazing-fast, minimal, and accurate color picker built for Wayland compositors like Hyprland.
It lets you instantly grab any color from your screen with pixel-perfect precision.
Hyprpicker is designed to just work with clipboard copying, format selection, zoom lens, and desktop notifications.
Run it, click anywhere, get the color.
By default, the color is printed to stdout. Combine it with options like clipboard copy or notification for a smoother experience.
