For Linux I've found gcolor2 and KColorChooser. Both let you select colours from the desktop and save them. However, they don't allow you to create your own colour sets as ColorPic does.

Can't be asked to launch Giimp and take a screenshot just to get a hex value.

I also liked that ColorPic can save colour schemes. I had them set up for all the sites I work on. Then when I'm writing CSS and need a hex value I could get it easily. It was also handy for tweaking colours quickly (e.g. I need that colour only lighter).

You could just use The GiMP, take a screenshot ( File -> Acquire -> Screen shot ). Then use the colour picker tool thingamajig.

Does anyone know of a good color picker tool for Mac? I haven't gone looking yet but I'd like one eventually...

See, I did it again. I put color and not colour. CSS is making me a bad speller

Firefox has an eyedropper tool that you may find useful[1].

A Photoshop tutorial on creating gradients is at 9rules[2], while there's an online tool for creating graphics for rounded corners and gradients[3].

Hope these help:

This is the one I use:

Also a good way to keep the colour schemes for your sites handy. Only available for Windows though
