Digital Color Meter

macOS ships with a handy piece of software called Digital Color Meter that you can use to find the colour of something on your screen.

  1. Open Digital Color Meter (found in Applications → Utilities).
  2. Click View → Display Values → as Hexadecimal.
  3. Hover over the thing you’d like to sample and press Shift-Command-C to copy the colour as a hex code or press Option-Command-C to copy the colour as an image.

Chime

While waxing nostalgic about my old digital watch, I remembered how much I loved having the passage of time marked by an hourly chime. But then I thought, why should all the chimes be the same? For your pleasure, a simple app that provides unique chimes on the hour, half hour, or quarter hour.
