Magnification

Coloristic is a simple utility which magnifies the area of the screen surrounding the cursor. It will also display the color value for the pixel that is exactly under the cursor and allow you to copy that color value to the clipboard. The current cursor position is represented in the Coloristic window with a square that is always located in the center of the magnified image. A Mac version and a Windows 9X version is also available.
