## Point, press, copy

Screen Color Picker runs in the background while you move the mouse to a color you want. Press Ctrl+Alt+C and it samples the pixel under the cursor, copies its hex code to the clipboard, and prints the RGB value and screen coordinates in the console.

The Python utility brings together a global hotkey listener, screen capture, and clipboard access. It was written for Windows; a graphical interface and support for other operating systems were left as future work.
