ColorCop

Every have trouble matching an existing color in a PowerBuilder app? Well help is on the way. Actually, it's been available for a long time, I'm just not sure very many people knew about it. I heard about it a while back, but only recently started using it.

ColorCop is a free third-party utility that can be used to sample a color off the screen and then provide the numeric equivalent for a number of different development tools, including PowerBuilder.

There's even a Spanish language version for people whose first language is not English:
