To solve these exact problems, I am excited to introduce "Super Color Picker Pro". This is an all-in-one web tool where you can do everything from picking colors from images to generating color harmonies and checking contrast ratios all in one place.
Let's dive into the features of this tool and see how it works.

- Magnifier Lens: Hover your mouse (or tap on mobile) over the image to activate a magnifying glass lens. This helps you select the exact pixel you need.

If you don't have an image and want to generate a color from scratch, switch to the "Color Wheel" tab.

Whether you pick a color from an image or the wheel, the right-side panel displays detailed codes for that specific color. You get access to 5 different formats:
Special Feature: Right above the color codes, you will see the English Name of the color (e.g., ~ OrangeRed, ~ Navy). This helps you identify colors easily. Each code also has a copy icon next to it for one-click copying.
