A Way to Organize Color Swatches
Randy, I really like your idea, you're spot on that one-click copy is the bit that actually matters day to day, and I feel your pain on what happened to Kuler. Judy, I've done the screenshots-with-hex-codes trick too; always works, and does what it says on the tin!
I built my own tool some time ago. Same principle, click a swatch and the code's on your clipboard, but you add and organise everything in the browser, palettes per brand or project, hex or RGB copy, bulk-paste a whole list of codes at once, and (in Chrome or Edge) an eyedropper that grabs colours from anywhere on your screen, brand PDFs included. It saves automatically in your browser, with export/import for backups or for sharing a brand palette file with your team.

Thanks for keeping inspiring, both.

This! This right here is such an elegant and useful tool! If I had the skills to develop a solution like that, I would have. Brilliant! Having this on the cloud, so to speak, is much more convenient and easier to ensure it's updated. Having the desktop version that I created was a solution where form follows function, but having both in your solution is next level. You guys really are eLearning Heroes!
An elegant solution! Thanks for sharing your expertise, DShaw. 👏
