Color scheme generators and tools

Here are a few useful tools for working with colors:

Pixie is a useful tool for finding out the color code of anything you mouse over. The application allows you to copy the current color's HTML code to the clipboard with CTRL + ALT + C. It also has a 'magnifier' ( CTRL + ALT + Z ) and a 'color mixer' ( CTRL + ALT + X ).  Get the pixie color picker here

Paste in code copied from Pixie and get color schemes, see analogic, complimentary, tertiary  colors and more.
