Cherrypick

Cherrypick is a color selection utility developed for Linux desktop environments. It allows users to identify and capture specific color values from any visible element on their screen. By providing a cursor-based selection tool, the application extracts color data in various formats, which can then be copied to the clipboard for use in design, development, or image editing workflows.

The software functions by sampling pixel data directly from the display buffer. It is designed to be a lightweight tool for quick color identification, focusing on precision and ease of access. Because it relies on the underlying Linux display server protocols, its performance and availability of features may vary depending on the specific desktop environment or window manager currently in use by the operator.
