hyprpicker is a Wayland color picker utility compatible with wlroots-based compositors. It lets users click anywhere on screen to sample and copy a color value.
Use cases
- pick a color from anywhere on my Wayland desktop
- sample a pixel color on screen under wlroots
- grab hex color values for design work on Linux
- integrate a color picker into a Wayland keybinding
- replace gpick/xcolor on a Wayland setup
When to choose
- you run a wlroots-based Wayland compositor like Hyprland or sway
- you need a lightweight native Wayland color picker
- you want to script color picking from keybindings or scripts
When to avoid
- you are on X11 rather than Wayland
- you need a full-featured color picker with palettes and history
- freezing displays while picking is unacceptable for your workflow
