Show the color value while while picking the color #87

Closed nonameplum closed 1 year ago

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. It would great if we could see the value of the color realtime while picking the color, something that e.g. SIP has https://sipapp.io/assets/img/home/contrast-checker.mp4

Describe the solution you'd like The color could be presented like in SIP close to the magnifier.

Describe alternatives you've considered Close the color realtime in the Pika window, but as there is already an option to hide the Pika window while picking the color probably not the best solution.

Additional context Easier to quickly verify the color.

I'd love to do this, but currently it's a limitation of the Apple API I'm using to do the colour picking, and building it manually is out of scope. I hope they add some more customisation features in future.

Uhh, yes. SIP is asking for the access to the screen recording because of it :/. Ok, maybe in the future :)
